#WhitewaterDrawOwls
(1) All but one of the Whitewater Draw Barn Owl owlets have officially fledged!🦉So, what happens now?

Keep reading the full thread ...

[Arizona Game & Fish @azgfd]

(3) Eventually, the owlets will start roosting in nearby trees and continue learning to hunt on their own. Then, sometime within the next month, they will become fully independent and stop returning to the nest box. At this point, they will go off to find their own home ranges.🥹
