Hoppity flap!
This video has some ADORABLE hoppity-flapping! It’s from 5/7 when we first found Leia in the spindly beech (?) tree and realized she had fallen for the first time. Then I tacked on about 4 minutes of high-def Mom Bath because you can never get too much owl zen.

These are the first three pictures I took this evening. But what a great story! I went out at about 7:45pm and there was no visible owlet in the nest hole. Daphne was front and center, on a lower and less-protected branch than usual, so I cooed at her for a minute. And then I…
