We are all breathing a huge sigh of relief - someone apparently came from one of the organizations (someone said Fish & WIldlife) and placed the little Great Horned owlet, that fell out of its nesting tree, back into another tree (after many days of it being on the ground). This was done yesterday afternoon and when I called in yesterday evening, this owlet was on a low branch and Mum and older owlet were higher up in the tree. We were lucky to see Mum catch supper and bring it to the older owlet and rip the bird up and feed the owlet. However, she simply placed a bird of some kind on the branch where this youngest owlet was perched and it had to tear apart the bird itself. So, this youngster is now out of harm's way, at least as far as coyotes are concerned. And people! I just can't believe what some people will do to get a very close shot. I very carefully did not mention the location of this owl family while the owlet was down on the ground.
