Only one Great Horned Owlet remains in the nest. Yesterday and this morning the “middle kid” started “branching”. With owls branching is the period when an owlet can not yet fly, but is able to use its talons and walk on nearby branches … thus “branching”. Given how difficult it was to get a vantage point into the nest, I am enjoying this phase of their lives.

The Triplets! (yes … all three owlets are in this image)

Fluffball Down!
