Siblings

Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Maine. Barred owlets are fairly easy to find if you know where to begin. The group this pair belong to nest in the same stretch of forest every year, which is where I begin. Then, I find them by listening for their distinct, high-pitched screech; a call to let their parents know where they are and, more importantly, that they are hungry! Once they’ve fledged, they hang out low to the ground (sometimes on the ground!) and are active during daylight hours which makes them easy to photograph… as far as wildlife goes.
