It would be easy to walk right underneath this Barred Owl Owlet without even knowing he was there. I probably have more than a few times!

The adult that was with him for his Eating Lesson had flown off to sit over the pond, leaving the little fellow on his own.

He was somewhat covered by the pine boughs and his coloration seen from a predator above would blend in with his surroundings. When I was leaving I saw the other parent a few trees away keeping his eye on the area.
