Shelly, Thankyou very much! PJ and Honey-Pie are a mated pair, and she is on nest, (don't know just where the nest is, but not too far away, because PJ comes every AM and PM and takes a mouse and chicken strips to her, and makes the trip there and back in 15 minutes) We also have Roamy-Pie and Buck, not sure if they are a mated pair. With 4 of them, it gets a little wild around here. #10607688

Linda A. Braddock August 23, 2013

Betty, Thankyou for your sweet comment.
We have some owls come to our backyard, and this is a photo of one flying in the backyard, but I changed the background, which makes this a composite image. I should have stated that in the information of this photo. I took both pictures, the background and the owl. #10817863
