Barred Owl Mates- Love Birds

The Wildlifer settles quietly into his hiding spot beneath the pine trees of Alberta, his camera poised and mounted to the tripod. The afternoon light filters through the canopy, catching soft patches of sunlight. He’s spent hours in this secluded spot, waiting for the perfect moment.
Ahead, perched high on a gnarled branch, shaped as a heart, the two owls sit close together which is not common. They’re a pair—silent, yet their presence is magnetic. There’s something deeply tender about the scene, as though the forest itself is holding its breath, aware of this great moment.
The Wildlifer slowly raises his camera to his eye, he adjusts the lens, focusing in on the intricate details of the owls.. There’s excitement with each shot, knowing that this is a moment few get to witness—a raw, unguarded display of tenderness in the wild.

“This was one of the most magical moments that I have experienced while photographing owls.” -Eric
