CommentThis owlet had fledged three weeks previously. It was one of a pair and I was glad to see this one awake and bobbing its head from side to side. I understand this action is necessary for the owl to look from side to side because its eyes are fixed in position. Extra cuteness is added by the two small heart-shaped chevrons on the owlets left chest.
