" Owls..." I've been lucky enough to take some pictures of owls during my life . I've always admired owls & I've always been in awe of them . The photos of the Barred Owls were taken over an eight year period . My dog, Frodo & I, took many pictures during our walks through the woods . We became pretty close to the Barred owls & we witnessed some personal aspects of their lives together . I use to call out to them & they would respond to me - it was somehow comforting to hear their call back to me . The other owls, the Burrowing Owl, the Screech Owls & the Long-eared Owl, were taken because I was alerted by other people about them . Now if I could only get some pictures of a Great Horned Owl, a Great Gray Owl, a Saw-whet Owl & a Snowy Owl - oh - & the Short-eared Owl & the Barn Owl...;-) Barred Owl. Burrowing Owl.. Burrowing Owl. One of the adult Screech Owl. # 1 Screech owlet. # 2 Screech baby. # 1 baby again. And # 2 baby once again. I'm pretty sure this is the female Barred Owl. She was bigger than the male & she had less streaking on her breast & more light buff coloring. Barred Owls also have dark blue eyes. Barred Owl. Barred Owl. The Long-eared Owl. Long-eared Owl.
