"Is the bad man gone, Mommy?"
"Yes, hon, he can't see us down here."
"I'm not sure, Mommy. I'm scared."
"You're faking for attention, he's gone already."
"Mommy isn't supposed to say about faking!"

This is the moment one of the Great Horned Owlets fledged. Their nest had collapsed a couple weeks earlier, sending them over 60’ to the ground. We re-nested them in an old milk crate attached to a tree and the parents kept tending them. I was able to film them from inside my bedroom.
