Owlbert Just Hanging Out

Video from May  6 in the late afternoon five days before fledging. Its hot and crowded in the nest box and the owlets are taking a nap. The mother has been  spending her time outside the nest box for several days now. The ever curious and resourceful Owlbert,  the second eldest has found a unique way to get some space and stay a bit cooler by hanging upside down from the perching bar over the other two owlets . A bat imitation - Brilliant!
