Owl Prowl

I looked for the barred owl today, but it wasn't there. I'm thinking barred owls don't have a key roosting site like saw-whet owls have. They must travel and rest in a wider area.

The saw-whet is still resting in the same tree. Yesterday, it was sitting on dinner - a mouse. Look carefully at the picture - you can see the mouse's leg on the right-hand side.
This picture is taken directly beneath the owl as it looks down at me.

The saw-whet seems very tolerant of humans. It watches visitors as closely as the visitors are watching it.
