Thanks, they are very cute indeed. It turns out that the owlets don't hatch at the same time and therefore, you see young ones of slightly different ages.

Many thanks Denise! Central Brazil is definitely the place to come and see these little guys.

I love how they each show a unique expression. The adult one looks quite bored, I guess he's seen you a few times photographing already The two little ones look downright curious. Nice shot!

Thanks K, I think the female looks exhausted from taking care of the kids. Actually, this is another set of owls in a different place, not the ones I've shot many times.

Sweet! What a catch! What a shot! I like how they are so distinct looking from each other and one can assume they have 3 different personalities based on the looks!

Thanks Taz. They are very different, sadly I think they will end up being grumpy like mom...
