A juvenile great horned owl is captured dangling in an awkward position after crash-landing high in a small grove of aspen trees. Apparently the ability to fly precedes any skill at landing in the early stages of their development. Somehow I manged to get off just one shot of this most unusual moment, before it flew off to try again.

    I’m sure once it righted itself, it did the cat thing of quickly cleaning itself and acting like nothing happened. 😆
