Owlet with personality

There seem to be so many Great Gray Owls at the moment - I've seen more than I've ever seen. On our recent May Species Count we were lucky enough to see three adults. Yesterday, with permission, I was treated to this sight! And three other owlets! This was one of the owlets we came across, perched lower than the remaining siblings. It sat tall, with a rather amusing expression on its face. It comes as such a shock when you first discover an owlet (of any kind) and find yourself looking into a face like this - they are so incredibly beautiful and fluffy. The light, deep within the trees, was not good (at least, for a point-and shoot camera), but I tried, needless to say : ) Just haven't had time to look properly through yesterday's photos, so quickly grabbed one to post today.

Later: can you believe I actually got to hold either this owlet or one of its siblings this evening (June 5th)?
