Unacceptable Rypstra

To end the story of this magical day spent with these two Barred Owls, the male was joined by the second owl, and they once again participated in some allopreening. The last video in this series shows them thus engaged, and can be seen at the following link: youtu.be/cKT0VmEz9KE
Afterwards, one owl flies down to the creek to have a bath. My good friend and wildlife photographer Terry Venables, was in a position to film this on the other side of the creek. His video can be viewed at the following link if you wish: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVmcbkoSsp0--
The owl that stayed on the branch was tired of being hit by the American Robin, and relocated farther along the branch where he had some head covering to protect him. The freshly bathed owl relocated high up in the canopy to escape the Robin, and we left the two to settle in for the day's snooze.
