Long-eared Owl

This is one of four young Long-eared Owls that were in this tree. Although these were still too young to fly, they seemed to move around the tree quite well... notice the big talons to grab on. These will turn into powerful tools for catching prey. This photo was taken on Kelso Valley Road near the Kern River Presurve.
