2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Barred Owl, Urbandale,Iowa, United States of America
Barred Owlet Climbing Tree

Species: Barred Owl | Location: Urbandale,Iowa, United States of America

This Barred Owlet was at the top of the tree, about 25 feet up, and fell to the ground, he was able to climb back up the tree by digging his talons into the tree trunk, and at times using his wings for balance. His parents were in some nearby trees, and were hooting at him, until he reached a safe resting place in the tree.
