An Owl Dropped In
May 23, 2021 23:33:16 #
My neighbor called this morning to tell me that they had an owl sitting in their back yard. I grabbed my camera and hurried over. What I found was a fledgling that had somehow dropped out of a nearby tree and seemed too tired to get back to its nest. I did the gentlemanly thing: I took a few photos and left.

Thank you who have taken the time to look and comment. Truth be told, however, I'm not a "birder," so I'm only so-so on the shot. When I shot it, I was working with my walkaround lens, not with a telephoto, so I had to hope I'd come out with the shot I really wanted. This image is the one I wanted:

Beautiful! Reminds me of the one that dropped down in my pepper patch.

We’re not sure, but we don’t think so. Nice one. Did he get back home?
It’s not my property, so I don’t have a say in the matter. I’ve encouraged the property owners to call a local bird rescue agency, and they did call. At this point all I can do is back off and hope.
