    This is the smaller of the two owlets. It is looking out the top of the tree hollow witching it's parent sleep very high up in a pine tree that is about 300 feet from the nest. The adult fell asleep just as I found it so I'll have to try again for an eyes open photo or the one I dream of flying to the nest with food.
