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.
