3 Great Horned Owlets. I watched these grow over a period of several weeks. Unfortunately only one seemed to have survived. Mother was always close by watching me but never seemed too concerned with my presence. Father was killed by a car before they hatched.

Great shot!
I always envy those that encounter owls and owl chicks. I am sorry to hear about the father but it seems the ultimate purpose has been achieved...
Congrats on the details and nice composition!

How cute is that, Wally. : )
You are very lucky to have access to this nest and this family of owls.
Interesting, if sad story.
Great family portrait. You managed to get wonderful eye contact.
Very fine details of those fluffy feathers.

Hi Wally,
Really nice young birds, so close, so well camouflaged against the tree trunk. I like to see how they are looking at you.

Hello Walter,
This is a very sad family's story. It seems that they are not being very lucky but this is life and you had this great opportunity to capture this nice portrait which is priceless. I love this look they are giving you and those great details on their fluffy feathers. POV and composition are very good too. TFS,
Claudine
