Learning to Be Independent





The moment I spotted the juvenile Great Horned Owl, I thought there was no way I could take a photo of him.  The Owl was hidden by dense tree branches and almost was invisible.  I stayed with him for a while, talked briefly and left.

On the way back, the Owl was still in the same tree but he changed his position and no longer napped.   This juvenile Owl flew out of the nest into the world learning how to be independent.








At some point,  the parents of this young Great Horned Owl, let the fledgling know that it was time for him to hunt on his own.  

Life goes on.

  1. Las dos fotografías, tienen muy buen enfoque y se pueden ver con toda perfección. Esas ramas de los árboles han servido para encuadrarlo. Besos

  4. Muy bonitas y mucha paciencia para tomar las fotos. Los jóvenes cada vez se resisten a emanciparse. Unos por comodidad y otros por dificultad. Imagino que en el mundo animal será por comodidad.
    Un abrazo
