This young owlet was a lot of fun to watch as it hopped from branch to branch while trying out its wings.

About The Photographer

Cropped lightroom of owlet about 2 weeks old for online
Located on beautiful Vancouver Island, BC - I am a serious amateur photographer. Everything to do with landscape and all wild things that grow/wander on it captures my interest. Living in such an amazing area does not make this too hard to accomplish and then sharing it with the world's eyes.
