In early May we had at least 4 Barred owls in the wood that surround our home. Every day at 4pm and 8pm, they would call to each other, and to hear the calls was wonderful.
I have an owl call, and would join the conversation to perplex them, in the off chance of a picture.
One night, the closest I was able to get them was around two hundred yards.

That’s awesome! We have a couple of families of barred owls on my property too and they are calling out all the time. And a great horned owl as well, I think solo, that sometimes sits on my grass looking at my dogs that just sit and look back. The only critter in the yard that my dogs don’t bark at and/or chase, including a couple of large whitetail bucks, is that owl. And I don’t blame them!Originally Posted by CSW

Went to a buddy’s I haven’t seen in a while. We shared some original songs by the fire side in his back yard.

I’s starting to get dry here.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
They used to get a drink in my bird bath which is 10' from my front deck. My neighbor logged his property so they don't come around much anymore. That's OK with me because they took all of the baby Robins and song birds when they hit the ground. They also used to pick off my neighbors newly hatched chicks when they went through the wire. They keep the rabbit population in check though, which is good. I had a doe and two fawns wonder through my yard this morning. I enjoy the wildlife here and help it along as much as I can.In early May we had at least 4 Barred owls in the wood that surround our home.

This very young one was on my dog kennel a few years ago.
This one was in my front yard. He was about 30' from me when I took that picture.

In the P-F basket of deplorables.
Pics along the Pacific Coast Trail…
Was a little surprised to still see snow with highs of 80 degrees recently up here at 8000 ft
