Spotted Owlets_2

Another shot of the Owlets taken a few minutes after the previous post. Here they had both climbed out of the cavity a bit further offering more of a full body look. If I recall this scene correctly, this pose most likely was a result of the positions Nate Chappell and I had relative to the birds- the guy on the left was checking out Nate and the guy on the right was riveted on me..

Another beautiful image of this pai, Chuck, though it doesn't have quite the "cute" factor of the first. With that intense look to the left, if you have any canvas in that direction, I'd give it a bit more room and maybe remove a tiny bit on the right.

The sharpness of those big yellow eyes really makes this photo pop. Nice capture.

A great look at these cute little owls, Charles. A very nice job in this low light.
