Good Morning...
 
Last night we had an interesting occurance in our backyard at about 6 pm.  
I was setting the table for dinner and I heard the distinct call of a Barred 
Owl...not unusual as we have a "resident" Barred...but then I heard a quick 
response call and it seemed like it was very close.  I glanced out back and 
there sitting not 20 ft off our deck were TWO Barred Owls sitting together on a 
branch.  I quickly ran for my camera and was able to snap a few pictures before 
one flew off and then the other followed.  It always amazes me the silence of 
their flight for such a large bird!  Needless to say it was a pleasant surprize 
and a great end to a good day.
 
Happy Birding...
