Whooo Whooo are you?
This is my absolute favorite of all the fledgling shots! As the evening began to descent the two siblings began to wake up more. I risked getting attacked to get this shot! They were both intently moving towards me and doing the whole head bob in circles as they came closer! made for a great shot i had to back off really fast. Truly amazing creatures to watch. I think mom is trying to wean them but not entirely sure. photo taken in the okanagan B.C Canada
“Barred Owls usually lay between two to four eggs, which hatch in 28-33 days. Baby Barred Owls leave the nest at about four weeks old and sit on branches outside their nest. They are called “branchers” at this age, and their parents will continue to feed and care for them until they are about four months old.”
{ Pixie did the research for me }
