Breakfast Delivery II

[Lyle Gruby]

This is one of the next frames from the shot I posted a couple days ago. The owlette is holding a crawfish the parent just delivered. Owls are wild, neither baited nor called.

Nice to have eye contact with both of them., Lyle. I like the Owlet, looks cute.

Lyle I'm fascinated with your Owls and the Crawfish prey, Mice ,Beetles, small birds but never heard of Owls and Crawfish, like the cute Owlet and the wet adult, thanks for showing us it.

Nice behaviour you got, neat to see parent and owlet together on the same branch. Bummer they did not pose closer to one another. I like the open forest habitat, and that both owls are sharp. Perhaps desaturating the sky would work, it seems a bit flashy.
