It is quite possible this young one from Saturday is the last one that I will photograph this year. With this cutie being the only exception, all others at the nests I have spent watching have grown up and dispersed, some likely already starting their migration south for the winter.

Although I did not spend quite as much time photographing them this year, it did seem to be a good one for the little owls. They established their summer homes near the usual spots I find them and all but one of the nests had babies and successfully fledged them.

I do still have tons of pics to share of them from previous outings and will be anxiously awaiting next spring when they return.
