RE: PESO: Orphaned Baby Great Horned Owl

2011-04-09 Thread John Sessoms

From: Liz Masoner


It's not a cormorant but I was happy to get a chance to photograph a baby
great horned owl at the local wildlife center today.  He'll be with the
center until about August when he's old enough to fend for himself.

http://lizmasoner.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/i-love-the-shot/



I wonder why it's so late developing?

Around here (North Carolina) it's just about time for the chicks to have 
fledged and mama would have kicked them out of the nest (admittedly 
based on a limited amount of experience watching nests).


I'd have guessed down south where you are their development would be a 
little further along. That one looks like it's only a week or so from 
having its full flight feathers and being able to forage for itself.

Lovely bird portrait, Liz.
In my opinion, a shot like this taken in the wild is always ethically
dubious, in contrast to one shot under controlled conditions like you
have done. If shot in the wild, the burden of evidence is always on
the photographer to convince the audience that no harm came to the
animal. Including imprinting.

Throw that back to the purists and see how they handle it. :-)

Re: PESO: Orphaned Baby Great Horned Owl

2011-04-09 Thread Liz Masoner
Owls can have several broods over the course of a year.  GHO stay in the
nest for about 6 weeks before they reach the brancher stage this one was
found at.  Another couple weeks and he should be flying ok within the
outdoor enclosure but in the wild both parents would continue to feed him
for several months until he is developed enough to completely fend for
himself.  Raptors almost always have long growth and care cycles when
compared with other birds.  Owls do vary widely in how long the young are
fed after they start flying though.  I believe the Barn Owl only feeds
them about a month once the young start flying before they start the next
nesting cycle.  But the Barn Owl young stay in the nest for 60 days before
they even start flying.

Re: PESO: Orphaned Baby Great Horned Owl

2011-04-07 Thread Liz Masoner
Thanks all!

It was a great opportunity.  With baby raptors they can only briefly be
exposed to humans without ghost suits (head to toe cloth covering -
usually white) or you run the risk of them imprinting on humans.  Which
sounds really cool until you realize that an owl or hawk defending it's
territory from a human or trying to convince a human to build a nest
wouldn't be a good thing.  Even to take the 3 exposures I had time for
with this baby we couldn't talk when we were in the area so that he
wouldn't get used to human voices.

On the yellow cast, yeah, it's a touch on that side of the spectrum but it
looks more like the coloring would in the woods that way.  I'll try it the
other way and print them to compare but I'll probably leave it as is this
time.  :)

Lovely bird portrait, Liz.
In my opinion, a shot like this taken in the wild is always ethically
dubious, in contrast to one shot under controlled conditions like you
have done. If shot in the wild, the burden of evidence is always on
the photographer to convince the audience that no harm came to the
animal. Including imprinting.

Throw that back to the purists and see how they handle it. :-)

That is one thing i like about the nature preserve at GFM, the fences,
