You Again?

I spent several sessions with four of these Long-eared Owl fledges as they grew into juveniles. Sometimes active, sometimes sleepy, always delightful. 

Canon 7Dii, Canon 400 2.8 w/ 1.4 ext. ISO 800. 1/160 @ f6.3. PP in LR4

Thanks for looking and any comments you may care to share.

How neat to get to watch these owls grow up!  This view works very well with that wide gaping red mouth, fine details in the owlet's feathers and a clean look through all of the surrounding branches.  It a fine combination of behavior and habitat shot.

A superb capture, Neil!  You caught that yawn at the perfect position and the details in face and feathers is extremely nice.  I like that the dof was deep enough to show the detail in the whole bird.  devil
