Full fledged fledgling

For over a week I had been wanting to get out in the early morning light and photograph the Great Horned Owl fledglings. Every morning it was either high winds or oppressive fog that scrubbed my mission. Finally good conditions prevailed and I had a great morning session just as the sun rose.

It took me a while to find them. They had progressed from "branchers" to fledglings and had moved to a different tree about 50 yards from the nest tree.
