The two Great Horned Owlettes that I discovered, along with the mother, on a nest four weeks ago have grown so much. They are estimated to be about six weeks old or so, and began branching last week. They now are exploring further and should fledge (fly off of the tree) in three or four weeks. It is such a pleasure to be able to watch them mature.
