A nice series of this youngster, Allen, with a good range of poses. Well done.

Baby Owls are so cute. This is a great series Allen. I love the looks you got from this little one. I also really like the soft pine needles as a backdrop. It shows how well hidden they can be if they want to. Love the fuzz and the feet!

Great series of shots, Allen! I agree with Ed; it’s a super cute owl and that background is the perfect backdrop. :clap:

Very, very cute images. You certainly got his attention for the images. Those are some serious claws. Yikes. Of the three, I believe I prefer the second image the best. I like the environmental nature of these. Well seen and captured.
