20130430 265 SERIES - Great horned Owlet.jpg

Ottawa West

Three images of the almost four week old Owlets growing up fast.

Top image: The Owlets are now toilet trained, and dump their load overboard whilst balancing themselves with outstretched wings.
It is getting pretty crowded in the nest. Soon they will likely sit on the edge and venture out on to the broken stubs of the top limbs.


Look at the length of that wing. It has a lot more feathers now than a week ago.


Another wing-stretch whilst positioning itself to answer natures call.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S
1/400s f/5.6 at 420.0mm iso1250 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
