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 : ) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Hawk-Owl www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Hawk_Owl/id www.flickr.com/photos/71833159@N00/7402716060 I happened to come across the following Blog and it makes quite a nice read, on the subject of baiting/not baiting owls.
