Spotted Owls-Young ones

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

I am having a whale of a time watching & photographing these juvenile spotted owls in their burrow. The parents keep a constant watch on us as we shot them. I will post a series of these amazing little owls in their different moods & in varied lighting over the next few days.

Just wonderful. Lots of personality and great character on the wood.

Love those little faces Sanjeev !

What a great opportunity and confess to being 100% envious. sharp shot and mesmerized by those eyes, took me a while to spot it but great seeing the very much hidden little face on the bottom right of the hollow. Just lovely as is but I might be inclined to very slightly darken the left pupil on the foremost bird and crop a ;little from the top of the image
