\"GreatGreat Horned Owl fledgling in Glacier County, Montana – Nikon D200, tripod mounted, f6.3, 1\/320, ISO 400, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 272mm, natural light, not baited or\u00a0called in <\/span><\/p>\n

This fledgling Great Horned Owl was photographed in the month of June in Glacier County<\/span><\/a>, Montana in the window of an old granary.<\/p>\n

The strong winds in northern Montana have pushed the granary to a slant. Even at this young age the horns of the owlet were visible.<\/p>\n

Looking at this young Great Horned Owl I can visualize what it will look like as an adult and earns the nickname “Tiger of the Sky”.<\/p>\n

Currently throughout the breeding range of Great Horned Owls the owls have either begun to nest or have nested already.<\/p>\n

Great Horned Owls have a large range and are found in the U.S., Canada and Central America.<\/p>\n

Great Horned Owls can begin breeding as early as November in Florida and as late as May in the most northern part of their range.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
