Occasionally other folks find good subjects locally and post them of social media that you have a high confidence of knowing that subject will stick around for a while - So when someone found an owl and owlet in a park nearby I figured I might be able to find them - Mom was not around but I did find the owlet - plus I will add a few more finds from the last few days shots
they were sleeping when I first found them

Really appreciate your posting of these spectacular avian shots
I love those intense owl eyes
All excellent captures and renderings. I, too like the tricolour, but they are all really incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Nice--two and four are my favorites.
Very good series, Thomas.
Very nice sharp photos of the water birds.
