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.
