Barred Owl seems to be the flavour of the month

I have seen some remarkable photos here recently of Barred Owls. So, here's my contribution. Taken Saturday evening. The owl actually flew in for a closer look at me as if to say " got any mice?"

unfortunately, i think that you're likely correct when you say it was expecting a human to present it with food

I certainly hope you are wrong about that. It didn't stick around very long. I was fortunate to get the photos. It's been 10 years since I last saw a Barred Owl.

Great shots of the Barred Owl.  Given all the reported sightings, there certainly do seem to be a lot of Barred Owls around Toronto these days.  I read it may have something to do with food shortages in the north.  My wife, Jean, and  I also came upon a Barred Owl this past Sunday near Markham.  Our pics and video are at: http://frametoframe.ca/photo-essay-barr ... m-ontario/

Here's a video I shot of a Barred Owl on November 28. Sound asleep and swaying in the breeze.
