Great Horned Owlet by David Marvin

A Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) family has made Fenner Nature Center its home this spring. A wee downy owlet is currently hopping from tree branch to tree branch in the dense stand of white pine trees (Pinus strobus) on the northeast side of the property.

Video of the owlet and a couple brief appearances by its parents.

Due to the density of the foliage and the height at which the owls are perched, lighting has been a challenge when photographing and capturing video of these majestic birds.

Head over to David’s Flickr for more photos of this cute little ball of fluff!
