Ennis Owl Cam
There were a few harrowing moments yesterday. Our neighbor called to say that one of the babies had been knocked to the ground by Blue Jays that were harassing him. Luckily, the baby was unhurt.
Here is something many people do not know about little owls: baby owls can climb trees! If you find a young owl on the ground, and it does not appear to be hurt or threatened by predators, then the best course of action is to leave it alone. Move far away and keep an eye on it from a distance. They will make their way over to a tree trunk and then, using their talons and their little wings, they will flutter/climb back up the tree.
We moved the baby owl away from the neighbor’s dogs. We put him on the trunk of his home tree and in just a few moments after we left him alone he climbed right back up.
Whew!
