Look who's back!!! Yep, it's one of our Barred Owl family. I'm over the moon excited about seeing this guy.
You see, the Owl's have been in the neighborhood - according to the Internet, they don't migrate and will only move to another part of their territory. We know our Owl family has been around but we’ve not seen them hanging out on branches or hunting. Not since the Red Tail Hawks moved in and started hunting chipmunks in our yard. Funny, I’m bummed about seeing a Red Tail on a regular basis when seeing one used to make my day. I mean I used to pull the car over to watch them. Now, I'm pissed that they're keeping my Owls in hiding and hope they move away. Anyway, the Owls are getting frisky and we're hearing lots of conversations - weird barking followed by "Whoo cooks for youuuu?" echoed back and forth between the trees here. But we've not seen any Owls hanging about since late spring. This guy was perched about four feet off the ground at dusk right near the kitchen deck. He hung out for about an hour, just watching me get stupid with the camera. He didn't even move when Tigger the Dog went out for a pee. Don't think she was on the menu for dinner so he ignored her. And he ignored me, mostly. It's obvious he thinks I'm an idiot from that look. It's the little things -
