Baby owlet photos




I managed to photograph all three of them this afternoon in the middle of our property. The first is a long shot, with 2 of them circled in red. Next, each individual- the first one was way up, and the photo didn't turn out that great, but the next 2 are OK. You can see their still fuzzy heads. They are fully fledged otherwise, but mom and dad are still feeding them.
 You can see this best in the last photo- although the babies are almost fully fledged- and they do groom themselves- it's almost like a toddler who can't really brush her hair. They always look a bit disheveled. Watching them practice their swooping skills is amusing too, they don't seem to catch anything- but they are trying very hard.
