Owlets arrived, mom sitting nest

[KurtT]

It's been a little less than 2 weeks since I posted my first owl picture without stick face of mom sitting a nest. I've been rewarded with chicks. Likely they were there 2 weeks ago and just couldn't see them.

First pic this morning at sunrise, liked the colors better... didn't see chicks, did a few rounds of refuge and by then, the chicks were up but light was 6:30 vs 9:00 am.

Heading out in am to see if I can get the warmer light as they become more shadowed with higher sun, I lightened the shadows in LRC.

Thanks Ralph. The one in back is my favorite. The front one never did anything. The back one was not visible then sat up. Glad I could see eyes. Going to take another peek in am, want to capture while still cute !. Not sure how long the downy looks lasts.
