Much to our delight, Nick discovered today that we do not have a Barred Owl nesting in the woods behind the house. We have two Barred Owls! He heard them caterwauling, and tonight we saw them together in a tree; one was flying off and bringing the other either food morsels or some other such tidbit. Perhaps later this summer there will be baby owls...?
This is so exciting! We feel...I'm not sure...privileged, I suppose, that they have chosen to nest on our property. Apparently Barred Owls often come back to the same nesting site multiple years in a row, so perhaps they will continue to grace us with their presence. It's a treat, to be sure.
