Barred Owl [View all]

Near my house is a barred owl nesting in a tree. the tree the nest was originally in had to be removed due to storm damage so a neighbor put a milk crate in a tree and placed the nest there. Mama doesnt mind and is raising an owlet there.

couldnt get any good owlet pictures,he/she is obscured by the crate but you can tell its there. when you approach the area mama flies out from the tree canopy to keep an eye on things.
