A juvenile great horned owl is captured dangling in an awkward position after crash-landing high in a small grove of aspen trees. Apparently the ability to fly precedes any skill at landing in the early stages of their development. Somehow I manged to get off just one shot of this most unusual moment, before it flew off to try again.
“No, I’m just doing stretches! I totally meant to do that!”
This is why they are called sky cats sometimes.
Could have became a bat, decided to stay owl.
No taste for bugs 😁
Mr Ethan Hunt at it again. Dum dum dumdum dum dum dumdum dum dum🎶
“Dangit! Stupid branches, stay still. Ugh, now I gotta - HEY! No pictures! No! - aw cheese it let’s go!”
I’m sure once it righted itself, it did the cat thing of quickly cleaning itself and acting like nothing happened. 😆
“I’m sure I don’t know how you mean.”
