This is the second time I've shot at this nest and only captured 1 or 2 babies during the daylight. I decided to stay after sundown and was rewarded with a 3rd one.

Nice capture after the sun went down. I don't know your crop factor but I would try to come in closer to see the owl detail more

Bonus points for multiple birds! Very nice shot, they are collectively very cute.

I've looked at your website and am really impressed with your owl shots. This is a unique shot with three heads showing at different levels.

Perfection, Mr. Delgado. Can't believe you got all three. Good job.

I thought from Kathy's shot there were just two - three is even more trouble! Sweet!
