Barred owl (Strix varia)

Well caught!

We have a couple of Barn Owls making a racket here at the moment!

Wow, great photo!!!

beautiful captures of the wildlife at your home thank you for sharing Klahanie.

They can be quite noisy Meanie. Especially at middle of night.

Thanks Simbad and Jane . I am pleased that you like it.

Homebird, critters like our old forest which we leave in its natural state. We keep about 2 acres around the house cleaned up(sort of) :-)

You see all sorts of wild life round your home Klahanie you are so lucky , thanks for sharing some of it with us ,its lovely to see :o)

Thank you Amy for your nice comment.

Wish I could see one of these, never have. Have only the tawny or wood owls around here & they're hard to see at night. Lovely photo.

They are wonderful to see and this is a frequent visitor Feverfew. I did not see any other owls here but I know there are some in smaller numbers. The Barred owl is the most common owl on Southern Vancouver Island and this one made our old forest its home. It has a mate and they can be noisy at night.

Klahanie, how lovely to have been able to see this. Glad to see the photo in GoYpedia, so that everyone can enjoy it.

Thank you Alanb.
