They saw me and scurried down the hole. This guy was brave as his sibling hid behind the grass.

    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!"

    I love the last one. Do owls nest under ground?

    On the third one down I love the second baby's gaze. Its like the little two year old boy who thinks he's totally bad....trying to be a tough guy.

    These are the cutest darned things. They look like they've grown quite a bit. When will they leave the "nest".

    Thanks for the comments everyone. As for them nesting underground, burrowing owls do. I;m not sure if others do. As for leaving the nest, I'm not quite sure as to when they will leave. I have not seen any of them venture too far from the nest as of yet, after all they are right smack dab in the middle of a parking lot so they are careful. I hope to keep track of them as they progress and get older. I want to try and get some of there early attempts at flight. I hear it's pretty funny to see. Will post them as I get them. Once again thanks for the comments.
