A second day in the big, wide world

This afternoon, I called in at my local park and searched for the two Great Horned Owlets. When I went down in the pouring rain yesterday, all I could find was Dad, but no sign of Mom or the young ones. I had the feeling that the babies had fledged and become branchlings, but could see no sign of them. Photographer Phil told me that he had seen them out of the nest yesterday (or was it the day before?), so my gut feeling was correct. I was about to go home today, after a fruitless - or should I say, owless? - search, when my eyes caught sight of two very fluffy "behinds", LOL! They were perched way, way up in a tall tree, motionless (asleep, I suspect). After a while, they began to move and I managed to get a few distant photos. They must be around six weeks old, I think. Very unsteady on their feet when moving along the branch and I witnessed a few balance problems. At one point, I even let out a very loud gasp. Very cute to see. Oh, and Phil, they are MY owls, not YOURS, LOL! Thanks for your comment on my previous owlet image that had the long narrative (about malicious gossip) below it - hilarious, and I'm still smiling! Thanks for SHARING your information - the more eyes, the better : )
