Wow! I always have the hardest time photographing barred owls. They always look like they are half asleep

Wicket is still SUPER new, so everything ia still kind of scary. He is wide awake whenever I walk past him. We have several Barres Owls around the ranch, but I have only seen one once, when my bird tried to catch it

Haha better take advantage of his perkiness now before he get comfortable and has that half asleep look all the time.

Me too! He is still pretty nervous, but he only just started his training.

Thanks! I had to wait several hours before the sun hit the right places so the shot was evenly lit.

He is assumed to be about 8 or 10 months old. He was found stuck in a barbed wire fence. His one wing is a little messed up, causing him to not be able to fly very well.Β

Wow. Poor Wicket. That's like the kestrel my mom once rehabilitated when she was young. She broke her beak and mom kept her until she regrew the tip so that she could hunt again.

Sadly, Wicket won't be able to go back to the wild due to his wing. That is why we have him.

Yeah. That is a shame, but at least you can give him a good and happy life. (So long as Zuul doesn't start chucking his rock collection at Wicket. )

Haha! No, Zuul keeps all the rocks for himself, the greedy little rock monster!

Well, at least he's civil enough not to throw his ill-gotten, rocky goods. Β

I think we would all be in trouble if he started to throw them!

Yeah. Good thing he doesn't.
