My bird feeder doesn't just feed finches and chickadees. Sometimes it feed sharp-shinned and cooper's hawks, goshawks too. This morning I flushed a barred owl out from under it. It was probably grabbing mice. It landed in a tree where I took a couple of photos through a dirty window with my scope and point and shoot camera.
Last week there was a screech owl sitting in the sun in the opening of the barn owl nest box. We never did get any barn owls. It has been a good owl year here. Besides these species, we have had great-horned and saw-whet owls this fall.
My photography cannot compare to some others on this forum but here are shots of the recent birds.The barred is first, screech second.
