At 4:15 this afternoon my husband spotted a Barn Owl perched in a tree along
the road not far from our house. There are many farms in the area, but we've
never had any inkling of barn owls in the area. A couple of weeks ago, in the
same area, right after dark an owl flew up from a field & flew in front of my
vehicle. I got the distinct impression that it was a Barred.
We have a GHO pair near our place, but we've never found their nest. I've
found an E. Screech Owl winter roost in the past, but we've neither heard nor
seen a Barred Owl within miles of here.
