Getting a little wing practice

Came across this photo taken back on 27 April 2014, that I hadn't posted before. Not the greatest shot, but too cute to get buried on my hard drive. Taken in Fish Creek Park just a few days before these two Great Horned Owlets fledged. We were surprised because, compared to last year's owlets, these new ones did very little wing practice while still at the top of the nesting tree.

Posting later than usual today, around 11:30 a.m.). Overslept again (till 11:30 a.m.) thanks to the muscle relaxant pills I'm having to take as part of the treatment for inflammation (and hopefully not a tear!) of the rotator cuffs in my shoulders. I'm already taking only half the dose my doctor prescribed, as I just can't function on the full dose.
