Great Horned Owls are typically able to move onto nearby branches at 6 weeks of age. They are able to climb well at this stage, at which time they may leave the nest altogether or clamber out onto nearby branches and return to the nest. At 7 weeks, the young owls are capable of short flights and will tire easily. Time will tell how long the owlet will stay within frame of the camera, so enjoy these moments while we have them!
