Why Two Owls Outdoor Tours
It might be because I have this really cool photo of a Barred Owl couple hanging out in the backyard on New Years Day morning - like they are out for a special brunch (good pickings in the compost pile below). It might be that I like the way it sounds.
According to a quick internet search Two owls can symbolize wisdom, duality and a shared journey or connection. Owls can also be seen as a symbol of change and transformation.
According to an AI summary, “The Owl’s association with the night and unseen can suggest that seeing two owls might represent the end of one phase and the beginnin of another, guiding you through personal transformation and spiritual growth”.
Connecting with nature through activity, connecting with friends and strangers in a shared activity support that personal transformation. When we take a moment from our busy lives and admire the bird in the tree, noting its song and its color, or the bark of the tree and how it differs from its neighbor, or the patterns in the tides or the moonlite sky, we connect with a older part of our nature that used to be in tune with the ebbs and flows of the natural world.
Two Owls Outdoor Tours aims to provide opportunties for these experiences, supported by guides who have historical, nature and local knowledge to give context to the experience while also holding space for your own or your groups experience to develop.
We aim to support your growth in skills, comfort level and knowledge so you can expand your wings as it were into further adventure.
It really does go back to these Owls that visit my yard. They were so present and visible for a year or so that I began to refer to them as my Owls. They visited often, sometimes sleeping on the branch, protected by the bamboo leaves. They looked back at me through the binocular lenses with their big Owl eyes. One even flew closer to the tree next to the house and peered at me peering at her.
Animals have these distinct and real lives, personalities, behaviors. They communicate with each other, owl to owl and species to species. They see us - but how often do we stop to see them? The owls in the backyard reminded me to stop. To observe. To be in the present. The gift of nature is that beauty can be found so easily - .
It takes only time to watch the birds.
