It's mating season for Barred Owls in Nova Scotia

They're so habitual, I can find them every year in the same place in the first week or two of April.

Beauty set Ian, another season for new young ones.

Hey thanks John, Sandy and Dan! It's always fun to see and hear them in this little woods.

Really nice series and nice touch on the finishing photo. I envy your location.

Thanks very much Bob, Chris and Park Ranger! And they continue to canoodle.

CANOODLE?? Must be a Nova Scotian term.
Judging from the last shot, maybe some tough canoodling going on! Just razzing you, Ian, this isolation thing is wearing a bit thin. Thank goodness for my owl outings.
But seriously, these were awesome shots as always. Great detail.

LOL Rog, thanks and as always, nice to hear from you. Yeaaaa they don’t even want us to go out in the car unless you’re going to the grocery store or drug store. If only people would stay home so we can get this over with. Take care!
