Great-horned Owlets - Day 46

Above: In this photo, the owlets have left the nest for the first time. They're still in the same tree, but have somehow managed to gain purchase on higher ground in the tree. I'm not clear if they flew up there, or climbed. But they're very clearly close to being ready to fledge.

My best estimate as to when the owlets were born is March 14-17, meaning that in this photo taken May 2nd, the owlets would be approximately 46-49 days old.
