During these troubling times I have all sorts of time to reflect back on trips into Owl Country. This past winter season had brought a good number of days spent with Great Grays and Hawk Owls…since last year had been a total loss with no owls located.
Each and every sighting of a Gray was a new thrill…don’t take me wrong but need to say that the most excitement came with the opportunity to again photograph a Barred Owl as they are less common than Great Grays.
Perhaps Barred Owls are increasing in numbers as there has been a couple recent reports of them being seen in wooded areas of the city.
