Ventured out to a NW Gate this morning. Fog was fairly heavy when I started hiking.
Hiking along this thing caught my attention.
Clearly fell out of the cavity in the tree above it.

This is a Barred Owl Chick. Still many weeks from being a fledgling. As much as I wanted to help I would have let nature take its course.

 One of the adult Barred Owls was overhead keeping a watch on things.

The Scarlet Tanger  on the title page made for a nice way to end the morning
