A beautiful pair of grey owls. The one on the right kept preening the feathers of the other one, and then eventually his/her advances were reciprocated and they groomed each other. :)
It's a shame I couldn't use a fast enough shutter speed to stop that foot blurring (it was quite dark where they were), but I still really like this picture.

I don't normally favorite anything that isn't equine related...but something about this image speaks to me.
There was an owl couple that use to land and hunt on my property every evening. Beautiful creatures. They did that for weeks...till one night, my boss' dogs got lucky, and caught this owl's mate. I was away on a trip, but I was told that my boss simply placed the fallen mate in the trashcan by the shed. Her mate stood for days on the top of the trashcan, not letting anyone near it. When I returned, this owl had taken a spot on the power line just outside fence. Every evening, at the same time, for over three months, he would perch himself there and just gaze, heartbroken at the clearing where they would hunt.
It pained me, but also showed me that equines and humans are not the only ones that can show compassion. His pain was very real, and I wish I could do something that could have brought her back. I only hope he is doing well for himself now. Haven't seen him in awhile.
