Great Horned Owl Chick at Sunrise

I was able to get real close to the owl chicks today. It was a little painful though, since I had to wake up at 5 am to get to Cherry Creek Reservoir before sunrise. Well, it was definitely worth it, since I got some really good closeups of the chicks and other birds.
