A Barred Owl pair with two fledged owlets has been seen regularly from the boardwalk at Beidler Forest. We spotted just this one youngster taking short flights in the limbs above us.
The owlet was curious about the humans passing on the boardwalk below him, not bothered by our presence. A school group of about twenty-five kids and chaperones had just passed and a few of their stragglers stopped with us to watch the chick.
I particularly like the second shot of the owlet peering down at you😊
It was pretty cool to see him notice we were there.
Yes, I echo Belinda’s comment 🙂
Thanks, Liz, it was fun to watch him watch us.
Ellen, it’d be nice to feature your photos in one of my Five Eyes posts if that would be fine by you. This peeping owl would be great plus another four. Won’t be for a while as I’m going to be featuring Zoomology next. Your sphere is completely different to theirs so would follow on nicely 🙂
Liz, thank you, that would be very nice!
I’ll get back to you at a future time on that one Ellen. Thanks!
