These are not supposed to be award winning shots. However, I do hope to get some better images as the wee ones make more appearances.
Upon returning from procuring provisions, I was greeted by my ecstatic wife, who had my 50D with 70-200 attached. I know, it was my fault...I should have locked it away before I left. Anyway, she figured out how to get the big lens on and snap the following pic of our little ones. Today is the first day we've seen babies in the owl house.
I quickly scrambled to the upstairs bathroom where I could open the window and get a better look. I got the one peeking at me with the top of the other's head visible.
As night fell, we could hear the mother owl (Otis) calling. The little ones worked their way onto the edge of the opening and peered about. Later, the mother owl flew into the yard as my boy and I watched her land on the house, and then zip away. A very cool evening indeed.
I grabbed this quick shot with the onboard flash as the two peeked out. They don't give me a lot of time to get set up, so I get what I get.
Stay tuned for more images over the next couple of days...I hope.
