Laurel Gale

Even though the owl didn't look injured, I was still concerned, but because of the location, getting assistance from a wildlife rehabilitator or something to transport it in would take a long time. I decided to give the owl some space to dry off in peace, but I kept an eye on it...

As the owl dried, it seemed to recover some of its energy, too. Eventually, it was able to leave on its own. I hope the rest of its day went better.

Moist Owlet This wet juvenile great horned owl was right next to a trail by the river. It was calm and didn't appear injured - just wet. Owls can have a hard time flying when they're soaked... (1/3) laurel-gale.pixels.com/featured/moi... #birds #nature #wildlife #owls🐡📷

A cliff swallow building a nest! There's a huge colony of these birds, and they've just moved into an area very near the trail. #birds #nature #wildlife 📷🐡

I didn't actually notice the juvenile great horned owl until I was right next to it. Because it was so close to the trail, I was able to snap a couple of very close-up photos as I passed. (See my last post for more details.) laurel-gale.pixels.com/featured/up-... #birds #owls 📷🐡
