Juvenile Great Horned Owl Most years, along the Fox River, between Batavia and Geneva, a pair of Great Horned Owls come to have their young. The juveniles certainly look nothing like their parents. At first glance, it seems hard to believe how different they are. But, it isn’t long before the juveniles grow to become large like their parents. This guy has not yet lost his youthful feathers.

Ground Squirrel Ground squirrels tend to be a bit flighty. This guy seemed to be sunning himself while he took a break from eating the left over bird seed from my feeder. Non the less, just as I began to shoot, he was gone in a flash. He’ll be back; the lure of free and easy bird seed is just too much.

Raccoon Normally, I am not big on B&W wildlife images; then there are exceptions.

Turtle Catching Rays The turtles just seem to love warm days in the spring; rainy days, not so much.
