They’re looking more and more confused at the current state of the world as they grow older. Much like myself.

Welcoming to adulting, young owl friend!
6 August: I can haz mouseburger?
It will still be looking for handouts for the next few months. 😜
When did it approximately hatch?
Excellent question!
They fledge at around 6 weeks, 42 days, so that would put it around June 25.
Eggs incubate for about 28 days, putting its laying date about May 28.

Excellent! I love a good OotY post!
I’m a little sad, as this may mean we’re nearing the end of all these regular installments of Buffy pics. This nest has been a real boon to us Buffy fans.
Aww little handsome 🥰 12th of July is my favorite, that new fluff looks so smooth 👀
Just about all down feathers at that point, nice and soft!
