OWL UPDATE

The Texas Barn Owls' nest box is bursting at the seams with 5 rapidly growing owlets.


Colorado's Great Horned Owls are starting to look like miniatures of their mom.

The owlets' fluffy downy feathers are being replaced by their adult feathers.

Aren't I cute?

The Great Horned Owls at CSUB are starting to make me nervous...

I wish they wouldn't stand on the edge like that!

As the owlets get ready to fledge, they practice flapping their wings a lot! Preparing for their first flight, they will run or jump up and down, while flapping their wings madly.
