Northern Saw-Whet Owl and Brown Creeper

This is my very first saw-whet to see let alone photograph . They are infrequent migrators through our local IBA. This is also my first shot of a brown creeper. It is a little soft and has that kind of painted quality but I'm not sure what I can do to make it more "realistic" looking. I think I've sharpened all I dare. I'm open to any suggestions either at the camera or post. Hopefully, I can get an "upgraded" pic before the end of spring

Two very good shots. Well done Michele.

Two great captures.Sweet little owl.

The saw-whet is just about the cutest thing ever! And goo d job with the creeper, they are really quick and hard to catch.

Nice shots, Michele, such great looking birds the pair of them!

These are fine shots, the owl is very cute and the creeper is quite nice! You did fine with these!
