Young Barn Owls Waiting For Food Delivery
Back in the spring of 2012 we had an owl box installed on our rural property for purposes of rodent control. What we didn't realize, at the time, was how much we would come to enjoy watching and photographing the young barn owls as they grew and matured. At a certain age the would stand in the doorway of the owl house, as soon as it was dark, and screech for their parents to bring them food. You would never want an owl house near your bedroom window. At the current time (July of 2020) we have young Barn Owls living in the Owl House, although I think they are large enough that they'll be moving out in the next few days. That would be a good thing as it's starting to get very hot here.
Down below in the first comment, you can see the lighting setup (using manual strobes) that I used to photograph the owls. In this picture which was taken in 2016 they are waiting for another food delivery.
All of the barn owl pictures that I've posted on Flickr can be seen in my Barn Owl album.
