Both owlets were awake when I first arrived (they likely heard me coming from a distance). I approached as slowly and quietly as could once I found them, afraid the slightest snap of a twig under my feet would cause the one laying down on the left to move upright. Once I found my spot and got my tripod set up, I crouched down and watched/waited silently. After a minute or two, they both fell back asleep right before my eyes (last image). They looked so peaceful, each with a little bit of remaining light washing over them as they rested. How can they be so cute?
