Getting Ready

If you were watching the live feed yesterday, you may have noticed that the site went dead. I still don't know what happened, and it is still down right now. But here is some of what you missed.
Here is the owlet testing his wings (photo 1) and staring at an insect (photo 2) in the box preparing for his exit.

Finally, here is a video through the spotting scope of the owlet checking out the surroundings a few minutes before his 8:33 departure into the big, wide world.
