This pair of owlets were close to Jackson, WY. This was taken after a rain shower had frizzled their down.

Another winner, Larry. Very photogenic subjects. What would you think about toning down the brighter areas in the bark below the hole and maybe cropping off most of the bark above the hole?

Great find. Elusive creatures, but enchanting to watch. Nicely done.

That is a wonderful hole they are in, with interesting wood around them. I like Randy suggestion about removing the top part of the bark.

Great eye, great shot. I agree with the toning down.

Great shot, Larry! I'd be stunned if I ever found something this nice.

Thanks everyone. It was fun to get to view and photograph them. And thanks for the suggestions, I get some time I will play around with it and some of the others I have.

Wow, what a great find. Their nesting cavity has a lot of character and so do they. One thing is for sure, they knew you were there. Really nice shot Larry.
