I think I can ... I think I can ...


This was this little owlet's first day out of the nest. A whole, big world to explore. Here, it found a very thin, small "tree" with a curved trunk and we watched with baited breath as it tried to climb by digging in its claws and flapping its wings. It finally made it to the top of the curve where it waited and waited for Mom to eventually fly in with a Meadow Vole. I always think owlets are the cutest little things when they have their feathered legs straightened out. Taken on 3 June 2012, NW of Calgary. A few days later, I felt totally privileged to have the chance to hold this beautiful youngster on the evening it was being banded. An opportunity that friends and I will never forget.
