Great Horned Owls Fledge, Feathered Photography

The Great Horned Owls that I watch have fledged. These are shortly before fledging:


Got a nice wing stretch:


They were very restless, at one point they were both on the deck rail at opposite ends of the balcony:


Then a short flight to a neighboring balcony:




This left the sibling confused. Here is the crouch getting ready to leap...:


...into the window of the house. At one point, its wing knocked the other camera askew, before finding its balance and perching there for a moment:


It jumped back down, and then, another leap into the window:

This confused sibling fledged too. No screen captures from that one though. Fly safe little ones!

Ron Dudley's Feathered Photography blog entry for today is about the mating ritual of the American Avocet. Very interesting and great pictures!
