Newly Fledged Yellow Warbler
Great Horned Owl Chicks Sure Do Like To Wander
At least those youngsters on the Montana family farm like to wander but they’re always raised in the dark and confined interiors of old granaries. I’ve often wondered if GHO chicks raised in trees do the same thing at this tender age but I have little experience with that situation.
Great Horned Owl Fledgling, Old Wood And Rusty Metal In Warm Light
