Description
I went to the nest again yesterday morning and got these shots. I’m wondering when the chicks will branch out from the nest. I’ll be out of town a few days starting Friday so it may happen while I’m gone.
Hoping to see an adult for a photo but so far only one quick fly by has happened.
Specific Feedback
Any comments appreciated.

I think they get rid of most of the down before they start branching, Allen, but I’m not sure of that. Our barn owls have pretty decent wing feathers before they leave the box, but being cavity dwellers, that could be understandable.
Another fine set of images. That first one is looking a lot less “cute” and a lot more “I’ll be you’re good to eat”.
Hi Allen
What a treasure, these chicks are. All three are very nice, but the last shot with both Great Horned Owls is priceless.

I am loving these!
The little guy in the background is leaning in like a classic photobomb. Too funny. 
Allen, I hope you continue to follow these young’un’s as they grow up.

Another great series, Allen. I especially like the last one. It’s interesting that in the second image the owl seems to have a more defocused look, but in the third, they definitely have you in their sights.
