Life is full of adventure
I don't know if this little Great Gray Owlet had ever flown to the open area next to the forest before, but we found it sitting down on the ground, giving us a much better view. Its three siblings were still high up in the trees - all of them very cute, needless to say. So thankful for powerful zoom on occasions like this : ) It's hard to believe, after all the rain and cooler temperatures we've been having since then, but it was actually getting rather hot on that day and this little owlet was feeling the warmth, too. The day after I took this photo, I was invited to join Richard Chamberland, licenced owl bander, who came down from near Edmonton to band this family with several other banders. The weather while banding was fog and rain and the (2-hour) drive home was in the worst rainstorm I have ever experienced, ha. Literally driving "blind" - an adventure I hope never to repeat!
