baby great horned owl, c'mon, this is cuteness 2012-03-08 - 12:16 p.m. © 2012 by elaine radford D. and I headed to Fontainebleau State Park on Wednesday to stake out the Great Horned Owl nest. We watched for three hours. Great views of the baby, but the adult never flew in, and I became concerned that we were keeping the parents away from the nest, so we left. There was a wing from a discarded juvenile crow on the ground, although I couldn't tell from the remains if it was Fish or American Crow. I have to have a voice! Either way, no wonder crows don't like Great Horned Owls. Cute moment: A feisty Eastern Bluebird came to mob the baby and then changed his mind. In the scope, we enjoyed the baby's heavy pink eyelids and wide pink gape. A couple of times, he closed his eyes and seemed to be dreaming of food, because he was opening and closing his mouth as if to welcome a parent's gift. The baby sat up really high on the perch when D. began to do his exercises. I think the little owl believed that he was about to have some kind of weird seizure and die. I mean, how many times do you see a grown man do a headstand? Baby was fascinated. Other good sightings: Two different male Vermilion Flycatchers, one a brilliant adult, one fully colored in all the right places but orange rather than red...an older juvenile? A younger adult? A single Broad-Wing Hawk actually overflew the nest with the baby owl and kited from a couple of different viewpoints while checking out the possibilities before deciding that, nawwww, it wasn't worth the trouble. The two adult Bald Eagles were performing some kind of close display flight together. I think they were concerned about the police officers who were getting their motorcycle lessons that day. A juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk that I tried to make into a young Eagle, but nope. I had directions to a spot in Abita Springs where the suddenly ubiquitous Green-Tailed Towhee had been seen, but it was very windy and didn't seem like good sparrow-searching weather to me. Also, it sounded like four people had done a very thorough search of the location the day before. Maybe next week... back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
