Stanley Park Owls - Family Life

The photographs below were taken in Nova Scotia on May 25, 1991. In 2009 these were the only photos I had of an owlet with its parent during the branching stage. At this age they have left the nest (in this case a nest box) but are unable to fly. They are excellent climbers and will venture out on tree branches - hence the name "brancher".

I will be adding more information, much more, as time permits.
