Fledging Owlet - Backing Up - a photo on Flickriver

"Fledging Owlet - Backing Up" by Patti Deters. This one little Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) slowly inched her way along the short tree branch, backing up just a little at a time. The wide eyes in her facial expression seems to say "You want me to do WHAT?!". She did not fledge on this day although she got very close. Owls are generally nocturnal raptors, and it's not often I find young chicks like this so visible - you can really see the fluffy feathers of her plumage. These birds are also sometimes called a tiger owl or a hoot owl. This baby owl was photographed in a city park in the spring in New Brighton, Minnesota.
