Hooters!

I had an hour to kill between work and my platelet donation appointment so I ran over to the Wood Lake Nature Center again to see the owl. The momma owl was at the nest hanging out with her baby. Here are a couple of the pictures I got:



Just look how cute & fuzzy that baby is!



He's checking out his wings.



Gonna be time to try them out soon!

He's cute! :) I saw a couple of giant fat hawks the other day on my way to work. Kind of gold or red colored hawks these guys are.

Cool! I am crap at identifying raptors in flight!

I saw one drop from the sky into a field, and when I drove past I saw him sitting next to another similar bird, both just kind of sitting on the ground. I'll often see them circling, but I'm generally not close enough to see anything. I can tell they're a hawk of some kind, but that's about it. Or a turkey vulture; they're easy to identify.

I should have stopped to take a picture, but I don't think it would have come out well. I don't have the zoom lens that you do! :)

Speaking of cameras, one of my friends just got a new camera and she wants a Canon Rebel one of these days. She takes good pics too. Lots of ocean and zoo shots.

Not as cute as your new babies though!
Random trivia: even though Hedwig was supposed to be a female owl she was played by a male owl. :)

You could put it in the hobo cage in your porch!

Cooo-ul!! Those are some amazing pix! I especially like the wing-flapping ones. You donate platelets? Hooray for you! I work in the blood bank at North Memorial- maybe I've transfused your platelets to someone! We transfuse a lot of platelets and without a boubt they make a tremendous difference in the health and recovery of sick folks. KUDOS to you!!

LOL! Yeah, I figured that out from the North Memorial mention. :)
When you are transfusing B+ platelets there is a chance they are mine! I don't understand why more people don't do it. You get to watch a movie for a couple hours while people make sure you're comfortable. Not a tough price to pay to save lives!
If you haven't made it down to see the baby owl you really should! He's so cute and he's gonna be flying soon!
