Looking a bit damp and definitely giving a grumpy look, these two owlets looked like they would have preferred some drier conditions. Ha!
These are about the last, lingering owlets from any of the nests I watch. They are still pretty young and while not flying yet, they have migrated from the nest tree to one with a bit more cover.
Great horned owl owlets will leave the nest, usually in a less than graceful fall, then move to neighboring trees, walking across the ground and then climbing the other tree. Dad and Mom will continue to feed them but, eventually, start coaxing them to try to fly to them to get their meals.
