    She looks pretty upset! Looking forward to more pictures of these. What kind of owls are they?

    Cool capture. You want to give nests some distance when viewing. The parents can get very protective. They had to close off part of one of our streets because of a hawk's nest. The parents swooped on a few pedestrians. One lady got a few scratches and had her sunglasses knocked off.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Wouldn't want to tangle with a ticked off owl (or any bird of prey). Those talons are a tad sharp :uhoh These little owls are cute. I have never seen burrowing owls. Looking forward to seeing the babies if/when you can get pictures of them... safely. :):
