Little Frightened Owl

Notice how its wings are folded in front like a blanket. When it heard me approach it put its head between its wings.

Do you think it is still young? Lovely.

OH!! The owl is so darling. I'm not sure what it is about them. They just look so cute & fluffy.

Terrific find and shot Coleen.

What a cute pose. I wish I could turn my head like that! I wish I could see an owl too!
Yvonne31-May-2012 06:42
It always gets me how they can turn their head wherever its needed - wonderful shot Coleen!

I don't see many owls around and I just love your shots of these guys!

Still a great capture whichever way it's facing.

I had to laugh at myself because I was looking for the "like" button to click. This is a nice one, Coleen.....

Yes, Ron, after going back and looking at all the shots I took, it did land on the branch facing the other way.

Coleen, Interesting shot but I think that this is a back side shot...Just my opinion, the tail feathers are the give away.. and yes they can really torque there heads around... Thanks for always sharing your photos.

It must be frightened,I don't think it is cold in this weather.
