Video of Owl Chick at Presque Isle
Since I haven’t been able to get down to the Erie Wildlife Refuge for a while I thought I’d post something closer to my home until I get get some video and photos of the refuge. I took this video on Saturday, April 25, 2009. So far we have only seen the one.
Here is the video of the Great-horned Owlet. The jerky places are where I didn’t do a transition between clips. There are a few spots that look like the mother was feeding the baby. (there is no sound on this video)
Actually I didn’t render it in the best format, I over zoomed into the digital zoom and it was pretty windy that moved the tripod some and it’s 2:30 AM and I don’t want to fix it. Excuses, excuses!
Also check out http://www.eriesargonaut.net/blog and look at past video posts of the wildlife in NW Pennsylvania.
Thanks for posting! I took my dad’s binoculars out two Fridays ago (Apr 17). Unfornately, the owl’s back was to me (and the owlet hadn’t hatched). This is much more exciting and definitely more than what I saw.
