What's better than one cover girl?? TWO cover girls! In my years watching this pair of owls, I've never been lucky enough to catch two babies at the nest cavity at once. 📸 Canon 90D with Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 C DG OS #photography #owl #nostr

The "oh big stretch!" rule applies to barred owlets too! Also, can we get a little commotion for the noodley little owlet legs 😍 #owl #bird #nostr #photography

#BarredOwl Working up the courage to peek out of the nest can be tiring, so this Barred Owlet took a little rest in the nest entrance. 📸 Canon 90D with Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 C DG OS #bird #nostr #new

While cooling down in the creek, this barred owl showed off one of its nictitating membranes! This special eyelid protects owls from debris when they attack, but maybe it's possible that this owl was using them for splashing googles. 📸 Canon 90D with Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 C DG OS
