Over the past three days the remaining owlet, junior, has progressed from loving its nest to branching. Mom could not be happier! See the timeline from Cornell. Owlets branch about day #40 of their life, and fly about day #48.

Three days ago at sunrise … nest bound

Two days ago … getting braver on the nest’s edge

Yesterday evening … almost there

Sunrise this morning … six feet above the nest … branching!

Proud Momma Great Horned Owl!
