Both Great Horned Owlets have fledged (flown away from the nest)! While I expected the older owlet to fledge, I was caught by surprise when the younger bird fledged the very next evening. Perhaps it did not like living in the nest alone?!
Make certain you see yesterday’s flight training post with lots of images and a video of the older owlet almost taking flight (hanging on for dear life).
Owlet #1: 31 Days Old – Fledged prior Night
Owlet #2: 31 Days Old – Will fledge early this same evening
😄 Just like humans, if the first one does it, I will, too. We are enjoying a robin’s family progression right outside our living room window.
i love these owlets and am thinking of them so often in this weather. thanks so very much for sharing their adventures with us
and these pictures are stunning
