05_21_2010 Owls and Owlets!

Recently we went to a friend's home for dinner. Before eating, we walked to the wooded area behind their house where we were treated to a special site: Owls.

Not just owls, but two adult owls and two recently fledged owlets! We were in extra luck as the moon was out in a location that Dave grabbed some photos of this cute family in the moonlight.

I think these photos of these Great Horned Owls may be some of his favorite shots so far!

Enjoy!

It is in North Boulder - the Gunbarrel area (specifically the Twin Lakes area). It was near dusk. We could easily see them with our eyes. He used fill-flash though the sky color and moon is exactly as it was (i.e., no photoshop). They are adorable aren't they!?!?
