20130509 498 SERIES - Great Horned owls.jpg

Ottawa West

Six images entitled: "Get Out of the way!"

Big Sister wants to get back to the safety of the nest after her first venture out onto the branch. But, Little Brother is in the way. He wants to get on to the branch too.


"Come on, move aside Little Brother, I'm coming back!"


Big Sister leaps back to the nest, but alas, Little Brother hasn't moved so.......


.........Big Sister about to loose her balance makes a quick.......


.....180 degree turn to get back to the branch, hanging on for dear life. She then.... ....


..... balances herself by spreading her wings and holding on tight with her powerful claws.
