Long-eared Owls from chicks to teens

This year I watched a male and female Long-eared Owl go from a winter roost site to a breeding site a mere 200ft away, then I watched the birds successfully fledge 3 young Long-eared Owls. The first two images were taken while the birds were being rung by a fully qualified bird ringer (John Brown).

Above three photos show 2 of the 3 birds sitting close to each other (the missing bird close by).

Until next time, Foghorn out!
