Lovely! Thank you for sharing the owls with us. They are wonderful, and I hope your nest box will be successful so you can enjoy them as neighbors. We have barred owls in the woods on our property, and I am always so thrilled by our chance encounters. Their songs are so beautiful, one of my favorite soundtracks of our winter nights. On those rare moments I spot one in the branches, I freeze - and just enjoy basking in their gaze. They seem to consider me so thoughtfully and patiently, slowly assessing me before deciding whether to stay or fly :) It’s a rather special feeling to sit under a barred owl’s stare!
Those big dark eyes are mesmerizing. We have been hosting a bird photography exhibit with our local Audubon chapter for the past few years and our zoo brings a captive Barred owl as part of the event. He is the star of the show. He starts calling from inside his little hut and as soon as she takes him out he looks us over and calls to us. I did not realize how much effort they put into calling until I watched him from a few feet away.
