Siblings - Great Horned Owl babies by Georgie Alexon Via Flickr: These great horned owlets seemed almost ready to start branching. Yet, their parents nested on a palm tree in the middle of a field. Besides being open to the weather and having no shade, the same breeding pair seem to nest there successfully over the past couple of years. Taken at the boat launch at Fort De Soto, Florida. - Bubo virginianus

"After receiving a tip about a family of Burrowing Owls on the eastern edge of Cheyenne, a photographer rushed to the location in late June. The owlets seemed nearly ready to leave their burrows. Over the years, the photographer has perfected a method using a GoPro on a small tripod, set to take a photo every 5 seconds. They leave the camera behind, allowing the owls to feel comfortable. The challenge lies in the long wait to see if the effort pays off. This shot was taken on June 28th."

There was a ruckus in the pines behind my house yesterday. I watched a Cooper's hawk bullying two great horned owl fledglings. The owlets were very protective of each other, huddling together and shielding each other from the hawk with their wings. In the final photo you can see one of the owls lost a down feather in the brawl.

Photo and statement by Peter G. Arnold.

"This spring, a friend notified me that there was a family of Burrowing Owls on the eastern edge of Cheyenne. I made a beeline for the spot and was tickled to see that they were still there. This was in late June and the owlets appeared to be close to abandoning their burrows.

For several years I have developed a method of getting close shots of Burrowing Owls using a GoPro camera on a small tripod. I set the camera to take a photo every 5 seconds. Then I leave the site to allow the birds to feel more comfortable coming out of their burrows. The worst part is having to wait for hours to see whether the method produces anything of value. I took this shot on June 28th."

“Monday” Spotted Owlet (Photo. by Panisara Sripratoom, The Nature Photography Contest, 2023)

[ID: a screenshot of a Tumblr post by midwinter-dream, showing a snowy owl with a nest in a tree with three owlets, with the adult owl using its wings to cover the owlets from the falling snow.

The adult owl's wings are shaped and contorted in an impossible position so they look more like shoulder pads, it has no visible beak and instead a repeating grey v pattern on the center of its face, and the owlet's faces are distorted and are a strange, airbrushed grey.

This video is AI generated. It is not tagged by the OP as AI.

Do not reblog it thinking it is real, please.

If an owl was actually trying to shield their chicks from the weather, they would literally just sit on them.

Snowy owls also next on the ground, not trees.

Here's some real life pictures of baby snow owls in all of their hilarious, bedraggled glory:

[ID: a photograph of a snowy owl on a ground nest. It is laying in the nest and looking directly at the camera, with a clearly visible black beak. Im front of it in the next are three snowy owl chicks which are dark grey with their faces not fully covered so their beaks look very large in comparison. End ID]

[ID: a photo of a different snowy owl on the ground with two snowy owlets. The ground is gravel, and the adult owl is perched with its wings partially spread, visible from the side. The two owlets in the picture are facing away from the camera, sitting underneath their parent as two fuzzy grey shapes. End ID]

There is an excellent BBC Documentary narrated by Paul Mcgann if you want more details about them.

If you’ve ever visited our Elephant Conservation and Care Centre, you may have seen the large worn trees in every elephant enclosure. Elephants are notoriously hard on trees, taking just seconds to destroy what took nature 20 years to grow. So our team “plants” large, sturdy tree stumps as enrichments and scratching posts for elephants. But that doesn’t mean they’re not part of the natural ecosystem! In this photo, a family of spotted owlets made a home in Maya and Phoolkali’s enclosure.
