  1. I never see them either, so can imagine the excitement. It does seem to be sizing you up, glad you made it out OK. Posted 3 years ago
    1. We had a proper staring contest. Thankfully, it had no intention of eating me. Posted 3 years ago

The Barred Owl is a large typical owl native to North America. It goes by many other names, including Eight Hooter, Rain Owl, Wood Owl, and Striped Owl, but is probably best known as the Hoot Owl based on its call.
