Nap time
The big event that day at Centennial Park was that the Powerful Owls' chick had flown from the nest for the very first time. Chick and Dad were perched for their daytime naps in a nearby tree, right at the edge of the area that had been cordoned off to protect the nest.

Aaaaw!!! The cutie. This isn't an owl I've really heard of before Ann.

A super picture of him taking a siesta - very well done lassie.

What strange goings on with your pics this morning, I tried to sort the remaining two without success.
