I really enjoyed sitting into the forest listening to the Tawny Owls call to each other - two individuals came to our hide on this night - we could see them sitting in trees on opposite sides of the clearing - they took it in turns to come in. Perhaps an established pair.
The LED lighting in the hide was much improved this time - much more even.
Strix varia: in the swamp along Airport Road, Dillant-Hopkins Airport, Swanzey, NH (30 April, 2025) Most of the other barred owls have left this patch of woods now that spring has begun to reach the Monadnock Region.
Tawny Owl / strix aluco. Lincolnshire. 25/07/16.
An image made on a thrilling evening spent with a Tawny Owl family and an opportunity to work using flash photography techniques again.
As soon as darkness fell, the birds became extremely vocal and before long I could make out two perched at a distance from the lights. Minutes later this bird flew onto the post. The tell tale evidence of its meal can be seen below the beak.
Strix aluco
The tawny owl (Strix aluco), also called the brown owl, is commonly found in woodlands across Europe
In my yard. Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.
This is another shot from earlier this year when barred owls nested on my property. This was taken three days after the owlets left the nest tree for good. This is one of the adults hanging out near my bird feeders, surely hoping to get lucky and snag something to feed the kids.
Mottled Wood Owl (Strix ocellata) is reddish brown and white. The face disc is marked with fine concentric black and white barring. The sexes are alike. The chin is white. The eyelid is orange and the iris is dark brown. The tail is barred narrowly in brown and black. The concentric barring on the face and mottled crown separate it from the brown wood owl in southern India. This call is an antiphonal duet of the male and female. The male calls one or two times followed by the female's shorter and less tremulous version. The calling is more frequent in November when they begin to breed. They also produce a single note hoot and a screech not unlike that of the barn owl.

Eurasian Tawny Owl, Strix aluco, a wild bird out in the afternoon daylight, no doubt hunting so it can feed hungry young chicks _22A4861-1600_copy
It is the only true owl of the North America which has brown, almost black eyes; all others have yellow eyes.
"Owlet Peek-A-Boo" by Patti Deters.
A baby barred owlet (Strix varia) is seen perching on the end of a tree branch playing peek-a-boo with the photographer. This fluffy young juvenile was looking at the camera and peeking around each side of the branch - very cute. These raptors are also known as a striped owl, northern barred owl, or sometimes even hoot owl. Young barred owls are fluffy and tan / brown / white, with soft dark barring on the head and body. f you like this outdoor nature image, I invite you to please share or see my main image gallery (birds, wildlife, more) at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/owlet-peek-a-boo-patti-d....
