I noticed this butterfly dancing on the flower and realized what a beautiful backdrop!

Barred owl pair

We’d had a single barred owl visiting the perimeter of our yard for several weeks, but then one morning we looked out and saw a mate with them. They relaxed on this sapling for several hours.

A few days after seeing both owls, we got an incredible surprise: their babies! They were on a dead tree maybe 50 yards into the woods, so I got a longer lens to get a closer look. They hung out for several hours, with mom and dad close by.

As evening approached, one of the parent owls brought a fresh meal for the fledglings. It was incredible to watch them feed the babies.
