Such a wonderful shot

This was mom. Dad was out hunting. Mom later groomed the other chick in the nest. She just looks tired 😉😉

The beak hides pretty well 😊🙏🏻

Nice. I no longer live in Alberta, but you can’t deny its beauty

Thank you 😊🙏🏻

Of course 😉😊🙏🏻

Thank you 😊🙏🏻

Yeah. I think the little might appreciate it 😊🙏🏻

Thank you 😊🙏🏻

Thank you. I agree. It’s hard not to love an owl 😊🙏🏻

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻

Thank you. It’s hard not to love an owl 😊🙏🏻

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻

She should be. Appearing she’s been nesting in the same tree for years and is a successful mother 😊🙏🏻

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻

A second little one appeared later. I’m sure I’ll post a photo some time soon 😊🙏🏻

I had heard the general location of where they were, just didn’t know how far along the path I’d have to walk to find them 🤣😊🙏🏻

It’s actually one of my favourite shots, but completely accidental and terrible photography 🤣🤣

I probably should have said Africa, because you can’t leave there without trying to get a photo of one 🤣

Thank you kindly. Happy holidays to you 😊🙏🏻

Blue waxbill
Madikwe Reserve, South Africa
A tiny but common bird that is easily ignored, but definitely worthy of some photo love
