Candor Goldmember  More info | Apr 23, 2010 21:26 | #7 I'm following a couple of GHO nests but I've never seen an owlet this small. I was out this evening at a nest and the youngster was only peeking out of the cavity. Organizations like this do such good work. I have been to the Raptor Conservancy of Virginia to photograph the unfortunate rescues that were too injured to be released and they provide the public a unique opportunity to gain an appreciation of these birds. Great shot and I'm looking forward to an update.

GaryFairhead Cream of the Crop  More info | Apr 23, 2010 21:32 | #8 Very cute and that is so much younger and smaller than the one we found a couple of weeks ago..Our Wild Bird Care Centre took care of it and a climber rebuilt the nest that had blown apart from wind and put the owlet back in the nest a few days klater but to no avail. The owlet is now at The Owl Foundation in Toronoto being raised by a Great Horned Owl who is also raising two others. It will learn to hunt and be released in October in the same area it would have grown up in if it had not fallen from its nest ( almost 50 feet up) Gary Fairhead C/C welcome .....

I like how you managed the background so the chick pops even with the similar textures and competing colour ranges. New owner of Canon 5D Mk II & EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM and 24-105mm 1;4 L IS USM
