These are this years baby Burrowing Owls. They have been allot of fun to watch and shoot this year. They are always looking to get to the highest perch, even if it's on top of your sisters head!!

Really awesome shot. The expression on the owls face is priceless! Maybe the wing of the top owl is a bit tight on the right hand side, but really a top pic.

[Rachel Hollander]

Great timing and poses captured. Definitely a fun shot and unusual.

TFS,
Rachel

Action and the best kind of image quality...a win win. A cool feature to the image besides the behavior, is the difference in pupil size between the two birds. No ideas for improvement on this one, it's excellent in all regards.

[Satish Ranadive]

Spectacular image with apt title. Excellent moment captured. Perfect in all angle.

Regards,
Satish.

I had the exact same thoughts as Mr. Zierman, but he said it a lot better than I could :) Stellar work Dave.

Such characters!
Love the light and open beak in this one David! Great comments above, not much to add but a spectacular image!

[Barry Ekstrand]

A priceless moment to capture, really excellent. I assume these are somewhere in So Cal? Congrats on a very nice comp.

Great timing, great action.

Hi David, I really envy you guys managing to shoot great subjects like this. What a fun image with the owl on the bottom clearly 'upset' with its sibling perching on her. I like the wingspread filling the top half of the frame. Great work once again.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
