  • Able to leave their nest at the age of five weeks, young Great Horned Owls often perch on nearby branches while they wait for their parents to return with a meal. Great Horned Owls eat a varied diet of rodents, small mammals, birds and reptiles and range across the United States and Canada. Young owls are able to fly at the age of 9 or10 weeks but remain with their parents for several months, learning the skills needed to survive their first winter. By photographer Steven Holt

  • (010628-SAH02.jpg) COOS COUNTY BLM LANDS OREGON 01Seot93 -- Endangered Northern Spotted Owl --   Northern Spotted Owls are an endangered species dependent upon old-growth forests.  Although they can use mature, second growth forests,  very few large-scale commercial forest operations allow their forests to attain maturity.  As a result, Northern Spotted Owls are very dependant upon National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands.  .  © STEVEN HOLT/PICTUREDESK 2001  (Stockpix # 100239.01) ONE TIME USE ONLY.
