And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more  ...
(From the poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter" in Lewis Carroll's 
"Through the Looking Glass".)

Today Glenn Barlow and I independently checked the barn near the AIC 
toll booth.  We saw not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 full-grown Barn Owls!

Glenn thought they might be all one family.  I think it is too early in 
the season for fledgling Barn Owls to be so large.  And why haven't we 
seen them all together before?

>From the way they were sitting close, two by two, I thought they might 
be two mated pairs.

Time will tell.

Anyway, this is a remarkable sight.
