Fourteen Eyes
Do you know how hard it is to get 7 owlets to say "cheese" at once.
I have been watching this nest for a good week now and have got a lot of 2-3 pics but this am after about an hour of nothing they just kept coming out. There are 4 nests in this one area and about 18 owlets that i have seen at once so there are probably more. I live on a ranch about 10 miles east of Greeley and that is where these were taken.

Great images! Really like how you got them all at once. That patience does pay off!

Great image! You never know what will happen when you sit in a spot long enough. Like the green fore and background.

I really like the first photo. I think that the upper left owlet by itself looks great. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

That's just cool!
Well done, Mike.

Nice job of capturing all of the owls looking forward at once (I'm sure that was not easy to do) on #1. I could do without so much out of focus foreground though and the image might make for a good panoramic-like crop.

Nice patience with the owletts! I'd recommend cropping some off the bottom of the 1st shot.
