Today I went and see how the two Great Horned owl chicks were doing.
They had grown some more and the down is slowly being replaced by feathers.
To my surprise, one of them is venturing out from the nest onto a branch.
They also stretched their wings a few times. I think they'll start flapping them soon and before you know it they'll practice flying.
Whenever I get into the vicinity of the nest, the parents take off. I can see them in a tree at a good distance looking at me - too far to take any images of them.
All: D2x, Nikkor Ai 400mm f/3.5 + TC-14E or TC-201
