Ive shown some photos earlier this year of some Great Horned Owls nesting in one of my barns. Ive left them alone mostly but have been a couple of times. I went early this morning to see if I could get better images of the nest but to no avail. The door frames are on the east and west ends of the barn and I was hoping that sunrise would give enough light to get the nest. The shot of the owlettes is a 25,600 ISO and still not enough light. Gonna keep trying but going to give it a few days.

I love the first image Steven. That is the kind of thing that red winged black birds do. The second is a lovely pose. It's nice that you got the nest with the owlets in what is clearly challenging conditions.

You are very lucky to have them. I spent a lot of effort searching for nest's this spring in my area. Owl's, any owls are fun to photograph. I think #2 is my favorite. Hoping you post more
