The Return of the Young Owl

This young owl has just returned from the second flight of his life, and the young owl behind him, in the owl box, who hasn't yet flown, screeched the whole time it was gone. Up until yesterday, they had been together every minute of their short life. They don't know anything else, other than they're always hungry. They grow up remarkable quickly.

 

I lit this with a two bare strobes on a light stands; on either side of the box, pointing up at the it. The strobes in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N, which also acted as the remote shutter control for my camera. Pretty handy.

 

I have all of my owl pictures in my Barn Owl set which can be seen here. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157630045851110/...
