Great horned owlets leave the nest

Darn it! Clearly I waited too long to pay another visit to this nest. You have seen me post pics of it, the one with the tree cavity nest. Well, I thought this would be the week where the little ones would start hopping around the rim of the nest.

I was wrong as this afternoon they were out of the nest and way up in the tree hanging out with mama (you have to look close for the second owlet peeking out). Oh well. I got some cool shots of mama when she first started incubating and later of the pair down in the nest just a week and a half ago.
