These are two of three owlets that have fledged the nest and are now branching.
Branching refers to the owlet being out of the nest, standing on branches and still being fed by the parents, while making short wing-assisted hops or walks between nearby branches.
Different angles of the camera, different lighting due to weather conditions and different personalities make these owlets look so different from each other.
The parents will encourage them to start learning to fly once they are physically capable.
This is mom flying over, checking on her three owlets almost ready to fly themselves.
Beautiful in flight with a wing span of three feet to five feet!
At the end of a busy day mom needs a little shut eye!
