A Rare Sight

a Barred Owl in a Maple Tree on Prevost Island .... and only the third owl I have ever seen, so I was excited when my husband spotted her :-)))

we have 15 species of owls in British Columbia, the barred owl being a large typical owl native to North America and best known as the hoot owl for its distinctive call ...

    Incredible photo of this owl. Very nice details for the shaded light. Congrats on this one, as I have never been able to photograph a wild owl.
    Regards,

    oh, what a beauty she is! in my mind owls are "girls", don't know why… and wow, WHAT A LOOK! so gentle, so tired, to sad! the gleaming black eyes… SO expressive! i can perfectly understand all the symbolism and myth surrounding them. and i can perfectly understand your excitement! i have never seen a big owl in its wild natural habitat. wait, that's not true… once i heard a terrible scream somewhere on the cemetery not far from our home. i mistook it for a kitty in distress, and went out with a flashlight to rescue it. picture me at 2.30 in the morning roaming the lawns of the cemetery… what i found was two young screech owl fledgelings in their respective trees opposite each other, calling for their parents to come and feed them, i suppose… – – a very beautiful (and strangely moving!) wildlife capture! hugs, sabine.
