The time is now! 🎉The first Barred Owl chick literally took the next step in its development this morning at 7 AM, when it ventured out onto the perch in front of the nest box and eventually climbed up the nesting tree. Only hours may remain until its two siblings begin to move out of the nest cavity and onto nearby branches, a process called "branching."
