Thanks to all who responded.
Short synopsis: typical behavior for owl fledglings first few days, called
"laddering" or "branching", many raptors & owls capable of doing so
(Red-shouldered and Barred mentioned specifically), can take days to make it
all the way back up, seems to cause more human than bird stress.
Good birding to all!
