Barred Owl Calling

I heard him before I saw him! They have several different calls but as soon as you hear it you know it's a Barred Owl. Not bad when it's still light out but it sounds kind of eerie when you hear it after dark.

Outstanding capture. The plumage is beautiful and blends well in the trees. I love the call they make and especially when another one answers.

Superb image!! Lucky you to find him. I can often hear them but rarely find them.

[Dave]

Wonderful shot. How do you get them to come out during the day?

@archibald I could count on one hand how many times I've actually seen owls up until the last 6-8 months. Maybe I'm just more focused on what's around me when I have my camera with me but lately I see or hear them much more frequently in the late afternoon just sitting well camoflaged in the trees and they tend to hang out in the same area. This one just sat there even as I inched closer to him. I left before he did! :)
