Little Owl Guy

This guy got too rambunctious to stay in the nest. First saw him on the 17th --

Adults are still attending to him. Hopefully this family will thin the arboreal rats!!

Have you seen the parents feeding it?Must be around as he looks healthy.

[Dave Noreen]

I haven't actually seen them feeding the little guy, but I see them around all the time. This forenoon I was cleaning up around my Ginko tree and looked up to see him watching me --

Earlier this morning while I was cutting up a tree that didn't survive my thinning operation, one of the adults was watching me.
