We had a barred owl in our yard the other day. The last time we had a visit was in 2021, so it was good to see. I wasn’t able to get many pictures but thought I would post these.
My husband saw the owl catch a mouse and eat it, but I wasn’t fast enough getting my camera for it.
As you can see in the next picture, there was a telephone line behind it, which I removed for the top picture. This picture shows how they can twist their heads around quite far.
Below are links to other posts I’ve done over the years of barred owls visiting our place – unless they are the same one that we’ve seen now. The first time we saw one here was in 2011.
