Baby Great Horned Owl (Owlet – Fledgling)

It photographed this baby owl on May 24th, the owlet is the great horned variety and this little fledgling owl gave me quite a show hamming it up on an old log. What a treat it was getting full sensor/framed shots of this owlet at eye level.
The photo on the left of this baby owl is a crop from the image below.

Mom and dad kept a close eye on me in nearby trees…

Full frame photos of this owlet

Even at this young age, the owlet has a VERY serous stare as seen above.

I will post more photos of this little predator in the weeks to come and there is more to this story…..
