branching

When I posted the photo of the owlet standing on the edge of its nest last week (April 29), my s-i-l who is a professional birder told me to keep going back to see it branching. So here it is! Branching is the term for when a baby owl goes out on a limb and tests its wings. Soon it will become a fledging and actually take off.
