Young wild great horned owl. Someone told me there last evening that one of the youngster owls from this spring's brood is paler coloured than the other 2 young ones, plus he's smaller (the runt) -- and that the Mother Owl is still tending him and they are seen near each other. Which ties in with what other people said a few days ago, that they see a parent owl and a youngster sitting in the same tree early in the mornings.

So since this owl is a paler colour than the one in the earlier photos, believe this to be the runt. This is the only owl we saw there this day.
