“Just hangin’ ’round”

This Great Horned Owlet has been out of the nest about a week.  He perched on a skinny branch and somehow lost his balance.  Taken at Ridgefield NWR May 2, 2012.  Needless to say, he was a little embarrassed but he recovered by letting go of the branch and landing properly on a branch below this one.  Lighting was very challenging on this one!

This photo took honorable mention in the Ridgefield NWR 2012 photo contest.

Taken with a Canon 7D, 1/640, f5.6, ISO800, Canon 400mm f5.6L lens.
