Excitement shortly after sunrise this morning! At least for me, but the Barred Owl was just trying to enjoy the sun’s warming rays on a cold winter’s morning (1F). I think that this bird is actually on a nest. Barred Owls love to nest in tree cavities. It is also amazing how much earlier in the winter that owls nest down in the Twin Cities area. I am visiting my daughter’s family, and back home on Amity Creek my own Great Horned Owls are still waiting for warmer weather, but they should also nest within two weeks.
very sweet! we had one near our garage the day before the storm last week. thanks for sharing!
