First taste of freedom

First taste of freedom
This photo of a little Northern Hawk Owlet was taken on 28 May 2012. I believe this was the first day out of the nest for this little one, so it was still down on the ground, though it did manage to claw its way a few feet up a thin, sloping tree trunk with difficulty. Thought this "look" was so cute, almost like a shy child hiding behind its mother's skirt : )

I happened to come across the following Blog and it makes quite a nice read, on the subject of baiting/not baiting owls. If you are interested in the subject, and have time, you may want to take quick look:
