Shot at the Center For Birds Of Prey, Charleston. Look closely and you may see a radio transmitter. He is allowed to fly even though unable to care for himself.

I have had this photograph for about a month, but today I was inspired to publish it.

You see, I was in a dense swamp and found a young Barred Owl that had just learned to fly. And… rain, dark dense swamp, really, really, dull photos. Nothing to publish.

But I did see a young fuzzy owlet testing his new skills.
