At the end of last year, I have made it a goal to focus on owls more than any other birds. I must say that it has been a great year for photographing owls. I am fortunate to be able to spend the last 2+ weeks photographing one of the nests. This time, I decided to photograph them only after sunset. Every night after work, I spent several hours photographing these owls. My goal was to capture as many behavior shots as I could. As soon as it gets dark, the adults would come out on their favorite oak tree branch near the nest box. They would then take turn hunting and feeding the babies. They have brought in bugs, lizards, spider and more. The male came in with a nice size lizard. Babies were not moving away from the cavity. He tried feeding it to the owlets but no one accepted it. So he took it and flew off with it.

Nice composition Troy. Like how the two chicks are visible from the cavity and the eye contact.
