Sometimes you have to get off the beaten path to find the reward.
The bush is full of fallen trees and stumps that can easily be tripped on…so a lot of time is spent looking downwards.
It’s a strange but exciting feeling when you pause to look around and see a Great Horned Owlet just staring at you.
This is a good sign since the young tend to hang out together…Mama Owl will be close by keeping an eye on things.
Like I’ve said before…always expect the unexpected.
