アオバズク巣立ち
昼間も巣穴から体を乗り出し、いまにも巣立ちそうだったアオバズク は、昨夜、無事に巣立ったようです。
時折、激しい雨に見舞われる中、営巣木近くの茂みにヒナ1羽と親鳥2羽が雨を避けて休んでいました。
The only-child Brown Hawk-Owl made it through the typhoon and fledged safely. Hope it grows into a fine adult.
The parent birds were side by side keeping watch over the fledgling. Left is the female, right is the male Brown Hawk-Owl. You can just about tell the difference between the sexes. ^^
It was perched beside a walkway where people were passing in the rain with umbrellas and raincoats. Maybe it's not so frightened because it's been watching walkers go by since its time in the nest.
It was raining and very dark, but a modern lens at 400mm can still freeze the shot at something like 1/13 of a second.
