Week #4 - Charles and Camilla
by Rosemary Woods

Well, it is mating season for my little Burrowing owls. Camilla looks like she is ready to pop wee owlets any day now. Charles was none too happy with me hanging around. He hissed and made all kinds animated expressions. Here he is hissing at me. Finally Charles flew off into the nearby trees. Camilla calmly sat there looking at me eventually turning towards her mate and calling him to return with "cooooooo, coooooo." I turned and left only to see Charles fly back to Camilla's side before I drove off.

Super job on the photo and the names of these really cute owls. These owls bring a smile to my face every time I see them.

Great story and great names! I love the expressions on their faces, like "go away, go away, GO AWAY!"

The lighting you managed is very nice, both owls are crisp and sharp and the little pop of green on the left is nice. Great job (and great story).

Love the names, and the story! And you came away with a super shot too. They remind me a bit of Abbott and Costello too. LOL
