[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A revisit of these baby Great Horned Owls.
Now they are actually flying on own to different trees, and putting on a good show if you happen to get there early enough.
Later in the day they will seem to find higher locations in the tree to rest.
The mother sticks by real close for watch, and the father comes around at times, but seems to stand on a guard further away.
I find this fascinating to be able to see this in nature.
Thanks for the view, and to all who commented and added the hummingbird.

Hi Doug,
You are lucky to observe them. Pose you captured is very nice :o) Good POV and details. TFS
All the best,
Selen

I love the crop zone on this Doug. It's got good perspective with the branch. I like the fact that the colours aren't over saturated too. It gives the owl a soft look to the feathers and still has defintion. Well done. Trevor
