Aren't you right on the ball?  Great sequence - congrats!  I, on the other hand, stood there immobilized as the Barred Owl flew right by my head :)

Great series! I especially like the 3rd one..it shows his/her talons beautifully.
Does anyone know the differences between female and male Barred owls?

Thanks Kin!! but I meant other then the size of the owl (which I know females are larger and yes..lay eggs lol) Is there/ or has anyone seen any distinguishing factors that would separate the two?

Excellent shots as always Paul.  Thanks for sharing.

After 3 years of birding I finally got to see my first Barred Owl last weekend at Presqu'ile.  Actually not only 1 but 3 thanks to the help of some great spotters.
What gorgeous birds they are!
