Summers Young Critters

Baby Racoon hang tight to each other in the absence of an adult. Considering the two adult Great Horned Owls in these woods it’s most likely a good idea for them to keep a low profile.I have seen these Owls consume an adult Possum. Not a push-over by any means.

A mess of Swallows living under a bridge are out in the morning enjoying the early part of the day and all the little bugs on the water for breakfast. Photographing these guys on the move is a true chore.

Hanging out in this cool spot under the main pine canopy on a scrub oak has become one of these young Owls favorite places to be. These youngsters are quickly getting their coloring  but are less than half of adult size.

A quick stop along the way after being flushed from under a scrub oak. This Owl is about 5 months old .

This Immature Heron is fishing at low tide in a Gowrie Park creek off of the Lafayette River.
