last night my son saw a baby owl in the yard. Looky here! Amazing that it let him hold him!

Oh, this is great. I have rarely seen an owl and it is awesome that it would allow him to hold it. Great shot. Thank you for sharing.

wow...now that is cool!

Wow, now thats something you don't see very often.

Too cool! We have a pair in our woods and got glimpses of the babies in the nest last year. How special to be soooo close!

So cute!

He still has his fuzzy feathers and can't fly to far yet.

Very cool!

So adorable,your son must be exceptional as birds trust few people.

Wow!

Usually when the baby is alone like that the mommy is dead. Its too young to fend for itself still. Please if you don't see the mommy it needs to be fed and taken care of..

Such beautiful birds..

that is so cool

How awesome.

We have those in our trees at night - never held one though - that is a great pic.

Oh my! How special. Thank you for sharing. I hope the little guy is ok.

How neat is that, great experience.

Yes, we will be keeping an eye on it.

What a great picture.. thanks for sharing!

Hugs

Oh, that is really amazing ! Glad you got pictures !

WOW... It is soo sweet. What a privilege for your son.

Cool!! Lucky for your son to hold him!!

What an awesome picture!! Thank you for sharing with us :D:D:D

That was a once in a lifetime experience. Very exciting!

Oh I just love owls but rarely see them in my area. He is beatiful and h ow wonderful for your son. Will you be feeding and caring for him? Thank you for the precious pictures.

Now you one majastic bird, dont think it will go to far, any way if you have a mouse problem, you will not have it long. From the pix it looks real young, please take good care of it....

Hope your kitties are inside kitties! Best of success with the baby owl! How neat!

Cool!! That must have been so neat!

Oh, he is SO cute!! The owl, I mean. :oops:

Thank you for sharing.

Isn't that something!!1 What an experience.

Its a beautiful bird and the little guy is really cute. I wonder if you could contact your local Wildlife Management person, they might have a local wild bird rescue person that they could tell you about. They would be prepared to take care of it if its needed. Your little guy might have just fallen from the nest or something though. Hopefully its momma is fine...Good luck with that baby...cute!

I think he will be ok. We see loners all the time. They hang out in the same place on our back patio. We do keep an eye on them too.

I think it's a screech owl? Yes! Our cats are indoor cats. They do go out on the screened in patio during the day tho, not at night.

Oh - it's so adorable.


Oh, how adorable. What amazing eyes.

now that is a beautiful bird

Wow! Thank you for sharing these photos. That is really something.

That is a great picture for your son to have. When my husband and I were newly married (41 years ago), we came home one night and there on our back patio was a small owl about a foot from the window. We were concerned it flew into the window but didn't appear hurt so we left it along. The next morning is was gone and only "a calling card" was left to show us he/she had been there. I still can picture in my mind that little cutie on our patio.

Good news! Mama and baby are sitting quietly in the tree. All is well :)

My son has two young owls in his deer stand in the woods. My
DIL goes down every week to take pictures of them The mother flew about three feet from her one day.. They are really making a mess of the deer stand but it is worth it to watch them grow!!

WOW!!! HOW VERY SPECIAL...TALK ABOUT BEING...
'UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL' GIVES THAT PHRASE A WHOLE NEW MEANING. Thanks for sharing with us.

Wow.Beautiful pictures.
