Collared Scops Owl Hatchling
Otus lettia (hatchling)
A Collared Scops Owl hatchling is a downy, mostly helpless chick kept hidden in a tree hollow or sheltered nest site in wooded country, orchards, or villages. It depends on the adults for insects and small prey brought after dusk, spending most of its time crouched low and quiet. Its soft plumage and stillness help it avoid attention before it can fly. Like many owl chicks, it begins using its feet and beak defensively long before it is capable of proper hunting.
