On my walk this morning I heard the owls, but didn't expect to actually see them.  Then we came upon them. One on each side of the street (new housing development)

hooting at each other.  They were not bothered by us at all.

 

It was fun watching them.  One would hoot and shake its feathers and the other one would follow suit.  Were they courting, or was it a challenge, like you are in my hunting ground, get lost?

I love owls. We have owls by us but I never see them. The other morning I was up at about four thirty and heard an owl and a rooster at the same time. That was special.
