Well fuzzy anyway. This group shot is of the Foster Dad of the Year, SEEDY (back), his foster dad in training, SMIDGE (center) and in front is the newest fuzzy addition to the owl barn, BUSHY. This is the second time I've rescued this baby great horned owl. The first was last week when he came down on the ground near the Presbeterian Church in Cody. His mom was in the tree very upset with me but after a couple tries I finally got him back into the tree near where she was making such a fuss.
Today he was about a block away hiding under a lilac bush after being spotted both in a nearby aspen tree and then walking across the street to the lilac. I went back to the church grounds to see if I could spot his parent but to no avail. As he's still dependent on adults for meals I couldn't leave him there in hopes they would show up. He's now sharing the owl barn with these two old men and HAIRY. The two kids can just hang out together while gaining some knowledge on being mean, tough, capable birds.
You didn't give Seedy enough credit !! he's foster Dad of the decade !!! Love these birds !
ReplyDeleteMaybe Bushy just loves living at your place, with his foster dad, and foster dad in training!
