Great horned owlets x3

This is one of the babies. The nest is in a nook in a tree, a little lower then this shot. They don't prefer this spot in the tree, but seeing as this is in better light then the other spot. I was there for many hours, just for a few shots like the first few shots, but I still only managed 2 in one shot on this side. A later shot, you'll see later, I got all 3 in one shot... barely.

thanks for sharing, the owls in my backyard are only out when i don't have a camera with me

Beauty set Trevor, always love the Owls.

Good set, like the variety of poses and subjects you shared.

What a wonderful series! Great captures and nice job finding this family.

I think that non-bird-shooters see a great series like this and often think that we just show up at the birds' "address", shoot, & leave. You obviously needed tremendous patience for these; well done!

Well done, I too love owls.

Thanks everyone.

Yes Neophyte52, it was a lot of wait and see. I got there at 7:30am and the shots in 1, 3,4,5 I got at 9:30 through 2:30pm. They would walk up to that spot stretch, and then go back down. The last 2 shots is the main part of the nest, which is about a foot lower then the ledge in the first few shots. If you look at shot #6 the ledge is about the adult females beak level. So the babies have to climb up there, when they "feel like it", and they only would go up there for a minute or 2. But I felt it was worth the wait for better composition, and light.

Good find and lovely shots, Trevor. Well done Sir!

Just fantastic!

Great shots, I appreciate your perseverance

Thant's an amazing series Trevor.
