Hoot Hoot! Really Bad Pictures, but...
Last week, a strange noise drew my attention at 5 in the morning. Sounded almost like someone trying to knock a wall down, so I looked out the window and found, to my utter disbelief, two owls engaged in combat. Now, I am not sure whether it was a playful combat or a vicious one, but one owl was bending face down over the gutter running along the roof of my porch and the other was jabbing at it. It turned to look at me rather angrily and it made the other one look up, too, for a few moments, then it bucked down again! I had no clue what on earth was going on but in the dusky light of the morning, just before sunrise, I was standing by my window staring at two owls two feet away from me, trying to get as good a picture as I could without scaring the hell out of them.

Oops, silly me! What was I thinking??? Hoot Hoot! Thanks for the enlightenment, flame.
Interesting - one Barred Owl and one Great Horned Owl - nope - no foreplay there folks.
Their love song..Or in this case, Hold my Feathers.
OMG... I'm blinded for life.....
I can never be with a man anymore.
Give me some owl baby!
But I don't understand, Kavika, why the one was hanging face down over the gutter! It simply dangled there, you know
. How can anyone mate like that? Oh well, I guess its the owl world. You know better than me, clearly.
ROFL, jwc!
That's what happens to flashing owls!
These could be on your roof in a couple of months Neetu.
This is too funny!
Thanks, Uppy!
LOL...welcome Neetu! Bet you didn't think this article would take the turn it has!! Too funny!
Oh hoot, I better have a talk with the owlets about the birds and bee's..errr owl's.
LOLOLOL, good one Uppy.
Kind of like " hanging from a chandelier"!
Hoot, your a really cute chick.

Dare I show and tell??
ROLF, Uppy! My roof isn't made of tin but it sure is HOT!
Awwwww, now that is cute!
Not a good thing for the owl to think...Foghorn Leghorn is this lil chicks protector.
Isn't that a ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'' Neetu?
How do you know, flame, what the owl is thinking? Hmmmm, I am beginning to wonder!
Hmmmm, Nona, now that is interesting. Hanging from a gutter or a chandelier - make any difference?
Indeed, jwc! Very gentle!
Howl romantic, Kavika!
While I was gone, Santa's elf fixed a couple of the images for me!
