A juvenile great horned owl is captured dangling in an awkward position after crash-landing high in a small grove of aspen trees. Apparently the ability to fly precedes any skill at landing in the early stages of their development. Somehow I manged to get off just one shot of this most unusual moment, before it flew off to try again.
