Owlet in the grass
This is something you don't see every day, or even once in a lifetime, for that matter. I didn't see it at the marsh, I'll say that up front. Nor is it in town, but that's all I'll say about its location. It's a Great Horned owlet which may have left its nest prematurely. It's been in the same vicinity for over a week now. The adults have been seen a number of times, so they are most likely tending it and will continue to do so until it can fly and then for a few months after that.
