Venturing Out From Under Mom 🐥 04/16/23 05:18

The oldest owlet ventures out from underneath Mom when Dad starts hooting off-cam from the branch. Today marks 8 days since the owlet hatched and the eye slits are starting to move. It usually takes 10 days to open their eyes and this little owlet is right on schedule. The Egg Tooth is still visible and should fall off in 1-2 weeks. What a Cutie! 😊
