I like how the smallest Owlet notices and stares at the exit door then at his sibling as if do say "did you see that". then everyone looking down in amazement...too cute!

For those worried about the fledging owlets, they’ll be fine. I’ve never seen an owlet fledge, but from watching a lot of smaller birds I’m pretty certain that it flapped its wings on the way down. It’s not strong enough to fly level yet, but more than strong enough to slow its fall. As pilots used to say, any landing you walk away from is a good landing.

I hope he climbed up I have seen it before they are strong climbers please make more videos

I was so amazed to see the little owlet squeeze through that tree. :o I also assume that it flapped its wings to landing and would be just fine. I was very surprised to read your reply to Carol regarding the brooding and feeding from the parents to the little owlets. Mom leaves it up to dad :o Dad's are always great (moms are too) with their young. I have been watching Eagles for six years now it is so beautiful to watch the parents be so loving, caring & tender with their eaglets and so very proud to watch their little ones fledge the nest.

I remember watching this live. One then gets stuck in the opening on the right hand side, one falls down the front, ranger puts him back in the best with a long ladder and he jumps out again!💕

Omg that crazy little owl!! I hope he does okay.

I worry about predators, like foxes and cats. Thank you so much for filming this and sharing the little one's where abouts and how he progresses his way back.

Time to explore!

Didn't you finish watching the video?

I just had a small grey owl on my deck, looked to be a fledge, was making a sputtering/spitting noise and then flew off into the night @ 10 p before I could get my camera.

He got out all right, if he can't get back in he gonna wish he hadn't.

well done

Oooo I hope it's okay. That was quite the thud!!....oh good!! Enjoy life little one!!

6:59 Watch me I can fly! oh noooooo

How is it known that the parents will still care for it on the ground and it won't just be eaten or something?

HI Kat, well that is the owl way of doing things - the owlets fledge from the nest then learn how to fly and hunt and while they are learning the parents provide some food for them as well as protection until the fall usually then the fledglings are on their own and parents don't provide for them and push them out of their territory to find their place in the world -- also the instinct to get high up off the ground is in the owlets so they will try and get up by climbing using beak and talons then as they learn to use wings they will fly up

Did another one split the scene to groove on some new action? I'm only seeing two owlets this evening. I know the one bigger one of the remaining three was checking out the rear hatch not long ago.

they are coming and going out the back door so hard to say if another one is totally on the ground or just out the back in the right side of the nest tree out of camera view -- I have not heard another go to the ground as of 6:51pm MDT (nest time)

Yeah, I suppose you would hear that if it happened. That first one sounded like a sack of potatoes hitting the ground. :-D

Very nice. What camera system set up was used. Thank you.

I don't know what they use I just made a highlight from the live stream that is broadcast -- if you go to explore.com they might be able to help you

Ooops! I don't think that went according to plan! :-O

Where can i find the archive video of this nest?

Hi Kate, I'm not sure if explore keeps archive video you would have to ask them -- I only make highlights of what I have recorded on my computer and edit

I wonder this little Owlet is alive after leaves nest?

yes the parents still take care of it even when it is not on the nest for another few months

Did it survive on the ground? Lots of predators.

it was 3 years ago but I think I remember that it climbed up on a close by pine tree and parents took care of it there

If i was a owlette my mother would probably have to kick me out the nest. lol!

Hopefully it got itself off the ground.

Is he stuck?

@polo7422

not that I know of -- most likely by now is up higher in a tree branch. Parents know where he is and have feed during the day. They will protect and provide for him for a while still

Never mind. I see he fell. Boy it's tough to watch sometimes. :(

Sort of reminded me of Wile E. Coyote in the Roadrunner cartoons.

The owlet will be fine unless it is found by a predator... But a usually they can use their feet and beak to climb.

Any news from the one that got away? I kept checking the live cam, but there's no sign... I'm worried.

I hope so. Since the nest is so high up in the tree stump, there's no way it could get back. I also just noticed that the cam is down again. Sorry, I'm not always a downer... I just got hooked on these owls and I don't know why.

polo7422 hey, how did he get back in the tree before jumping off again?

One left the nest and the other wants to be with him. See how he's looking around the edges. I suppose mom is finished with them. They still need to eat. Can't imagine this little one catching his own mice.

no matter where the Owlets are in the nest or on the ground up in other trees other than nest area Parents still provide food for them. Once the owlets fledge from the nest the Parents still take care of them for many months -- they just don't come back to the nest -- The parents supply food and protection -- When fall comes around that is when the parents start to stop providing for the young and they are on their own

@@polo7422 thanks for that bit of infor because I was wondering. ✌👍

Great camera work but that sounded like a hard fall. Getting stuck & having to wriggle out with no control was not great. I was really worried.

I think, eldest Owlet leaving patern of Nest is accidental. At night, Fox or snake will come and take it away. Timely leaving nest of bird always can fly from tree to tree following their parents. This owlet might be falling down within the crack open of that tree by accidental and at last fall down to the grown. The fallen owlet if not taken by fox or any other roaming carnivores, will be losed by her parent anyhow. Sorry for that. If a men near there, it will be good to carry and put it back on the nest.

yes when this happened the ORI representatives placed it back into the nest snag -- however it did fledge again quickly so it was ready to go even though viewers didn't think so .... And Owl parents know where their fledglings are once they leave the nest and feed them -- Fledglings have a natural instinct to get higher off the ground and find a place that is up higher either by climbing up or taking short flight to get there
