Sometimes you are at the right place at the right time. I have been following this nest on private property for several weeks now. I knew there were babies as one parent was always sitting in the nest. Then today… poof ….I see one adult perched on a neighbouring branch and two babies in the nest that look quite large.
I kept a distance. This is one owl you need to give a lot of space to. They will attack people who get too close. I took these with a zoom lens and they are heavily cropped. Get out and enjoy nature. You never know what you find in your own backyard or a friend’s backyard.
Patience has paid off, thanks for sharing.

Yes, indeed! When it was sticking to the nest it just looked annoyed. Now it seems like it may be more happy with the situation.

Getting close to sunset. The best time to catch owls who have owlets. Sunset hours usually make for good light conditions.

Cuties indeed. Not so sure the other animals would feel the same. They go nuts in the woods when a parent is out and about.
