Seven images entitled: "MAYBE TODAY???"
Note: the owlets are now from 5 - 6 weeks old. The older one, I'll call "Big Sister", is probably about 3 - 4 days older than her "Little Brother".

Top image: Big Sister thinks its time to move out. Here she checks out the closest branch to see how best to get on to it.


Little Brother, squeezes in next to her to offer advice and encouragement.
