Hoot, Hoot!

This baby barn owl fell out of it's nest in my dad's front yard. Dad said it took about two days for the owl to eventually make it's way back up into the nest. First he had to figure out how to make it up to the window sill, then a branch a little further up, and then finally up the tree to the nest. Over the two days that he "flew the coop" the mom owl would bring her baby food.




I have never seen an owl up close and personal like this so I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share it with you all as well.

wow - that owl is really cool. he should be glad he fell out of a tree in your dad's yard and not at susannah and james' house. i only say that because the last baby birds in their yard were eaten by pythons. and that owl is way to cute!
