Wow! At the end they sure grew so fast! Looks like they were about ready to fledge! Hope they made it and are doing great! Thank you again for helping with their nesting box and filming!
Great to see this part of their life, thanks for sharing this. For the past seven years in North Phoenix I've had a family show up in June with their just fledged youngsters where they stay until their horns come up and they are ready take off on their own. Amazing to see, but I've wondered where they came from. I've had up to six Owls spend the summer here, but usually just three or four.

With the loyal assistance of her partner, who is usually the sole provider while his mate is incubating eggs and tending to very small nestlings These are (typically) monogamous, cooperatively biparental birds, not mammals.
