Title: Saw Whet & Barred Owl
Post by: Moira on December 30, 2010, 08:50:01 PM
Finally saw my first owls of the season today.  The  Barred Owl image was taken around 4:30 at the side of the road, so not the greatest.  Barbed wire kept him a good distance away.

The barred owl doesn't look shy at all. Congrats on your owls.

I did not spot the Saw Whet at the side of the road.  I'd have to leave these eyes to science if that were the case :)  I saw the Barred Owl in a field surrounded by barbed wire as I was driving by.
