Up Side Down Owlet

[Troy Lim]

~All 3 are getting more active yesterday. Two older ones were going up in the nest many times yesterday, one actually was hanging up side down at one point and I was lucky to press the shutter. I have never seen such behavior in any owl species. I guess they must be itching to come out of the nest.

Awesome! Looks like their having fun in there!

Interesting behavior display by the bird. I like the side lighting on the trunk here, but might consider toning down a bit on the lower right of the hole. The two owlets side by side look sort of like ying yang symbol. The hole itself does resemble an owl or my imagination play trick on me here.

Really fun picture! Agreed with Thansboon that the tree trunk a bit bright.

This is hysterical, Troy. Never seen or heard of anything like it. Would sharpen the owlets a bit more.
