Juvenile Snowy Owl


I hadn't been to the Zoo for many weeks, but someone had mentioned that the Snowy Owl enclosure near the Tigers was closed off. I suspected that maybe the pair of Snowy Owls had nested and that they were being given some privacy. A few years ago, though, I happened to check and discovered three little, dark grey owlets. Anyway, I have just been so ridiculousy busy with botanizing over the summer, that it was only yesterday that I finally got to see this new addition to the family. S/he was active and curious, while Mom and Dad just sat there with eyes often closed. Oh, those eyes! I'm hoping that this will be a good winter for seeing Snowy Owls in the wild, just in case I get a chance to get out of the city : ).
