Thank you Jodi–I meant to write juvenile, but that isn’t entirely correct either for an owl that isn’t yet an adult. I think the stages are owlet, nestling, fledgling, juvenile, immature, adult, but need to read more to be sure.

What a magnificent bird. If you ever get the chance, read “Wesley the Owl” by Stacey O’Brien. Try the non-fiction dept. at your local library. He was a 3 day old barn owl who broke his wing, and was not able to be rehabilitated, so he was taken in and fostered by a young scientist for many years. He would get jealous of her boyfriends and do his best to drive them away, with much success, I might add. It’s a fascinating read and a poignant tale.

Birds will often stay in one place to conserve energy. Let them be and admire from afar.
