I have this sneaking suspicion about how #1 gets up there every evening...

Yup. This time I was right.
Chris writes:
May 20 – [8:53 PM] Owlet no. 1 has left the nest and is safely perched in the nest box tree. He/she flew from the rail to a nearby tree limb with no difficulty.
[9:48 PM] As soon as I finished writing the previous entry, I went outside with a powerful hand-held light and my camera to try to get a photo of owlet no. 1, but he/she was nowhere to be seen. Both adults were present - they moved around the yard keeping a constant watch on me, and they protested verbally when I walked under certain areas of the canopy of the two big hackberry trees at the back of my yard. That suggests that owlet no. 1 flew from the nest box tree to one of the hackberrys, a flight of something like 25 feet, if he flew between their closest branches. If so, that’s good; the dead nest box tree can’t provide much shelter, while the large, vibrant hackberrys can provide no end of places to hide.
At this age, a screech owl should be a very poor flier, but I saw this one easily gain altitude on both of her/his first two flights, so, perhaps, being one of only two owlets meant that he/she was fed so well that he/she developed more rapidly than the typical eastern screechlet, who would be competing with three siblings.
So, all indications are that things are going great for owlet no. 1. Next we’ll see how long owlet no. 2 (≅3 days younger than no. 1) remains in the nest.
