Crazy Long day (Sorry 10 pics)

[coastalconn]

Spent 12 hours out in the world shooting today. Most of which I had pretty flat lighting.. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

1 Parked my car and George Jr. came popping out of the shrubs about 10 feet in front of my car. Threw my 200 on and caught him flying..

2 Headed off on my trail to see how the owlets were doing. They were snuggled up and checking me out..

3 Seemed like they wanted to show me that they had learned how to branch..

What a multi-species bounty! Like the owlet "branching"...I'd not heard that word applied to birds, but it makes sense. Now I understand the old folk saying, "Before you can fly, you must branch."

Wow.
Another amazing set. Or 2 sets.
Great Job.
