This has to be one of the rarest pictures we (or possibly anyone) have taken - a pair of Barred Owls sharing the same branch about 15 feet from where we were standing in the back of our house. We believe the owl on the right is the male. He had been sitting on this same limb for about 6 hours. The female was probably sitting on their nest until she decided to join her mate. The female (on the left) arrived and stayed for about 2 minutes and then flew down the hill in the back of our house towards the lake. After about 20 minutes she returned and again landed on the same branch next to her mate. This time, she only stayed for about a minute when she again flew down the hill and landed in a tree by the lake. The male must have gotten the message this time as he also flew down to the same tree. They were there for about 3-4 minutes when they both flew out of our range of sight.

They are Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing. You should probably win some sort of nature award for that shot.
How sweet. What a great picture.
