Had to smile at the posture of this little Burrowing Owl at the Calgary Zoo a few days ago.

Found "my" baby Great Horned Owl on the same branch as its mother this afternoon, maybe two feet apart. It seemed alert when I first arrived but very quickly its head began to droop , its eyes closed and its head fell further and further forward over the branch. Looked all fluffed up again, after experiencing rain and snow the past few days. Saw a couple of brilliant orange and black little birds in the trees nearby - Baltimore Orioles, so that was exciting, too.

There is a family of five or six Swainson's Hawks living in one of the parks where I like to walk. Found three of the young in this favourite dead tree on this particular walk.
