Parmi les hiboux, cette chouette est ma préférée. Après une belle grande marche vivifiante de plusieurs kilomètres à -15° C pour la trouver, l’effort en valait la peine.

This owl is my favorite of the species.

Barred Owl - Ladner, BC
Driving down the road at Ladner Harbour Park and all of a sudden this speeding bullet of feathers appeared diving into the blackberry bushes. I stopped and approached and discovered this owl which had just killed a rabbit. He plucked out some fur but was distracted from feeding on it by a band of crows who drove him off his prey. He did try to take it with him, but the rabbit was too heavy and he dropped it. Tough to get all this action in photos, but I did manage a few portrait shots. I had seen the rabbit hopping around earlier and thought I should take pictures of him, but the owl got to him first. How exciting to see!
Mais ils sont encore allés en Scandinavie ? Eh oui !
D'habitude, j'aime bien poster dans l'ordre, mais là , je fais une entorse.
Le 15 août, nous sommes à Inari, et sommes informés de la présence d'une chouette lapone à la réserve de Dumme mosse, à Jönköping. Elle est visiblement très accessible et visible depuis le chemin de balade. Oui mais Dumme Mosse c'est à 1700km et on a prévu un autre arrêt avant de redescendre. On va faire comme on a prévu, puis on ira voir ensuite à cette réserve, on sait jamais si elle est toujours là ... Et elle était toujours là ! Et pas seule. Il y a aussi 3 petits (des petits assez âgés, largement volants et avec un plumage de grand). Les rencontres du lendemain avec les jeunes, toujours en restant sur les sentiers de promenade à travers les bois, étaient assez exceptionnelles.
Ici, l'adulte en chasse dans la tourbière. Sur fond sonore de cris de grues cendrées, avec un élan qui sors des bois au loin. Magique !
Every noise is scanned as the barred owl watches over the little ones in the adjacent trees

Barred Owl
The Barred Owl (Strix varia), or Northern Barred Owl, is a true owl native to eastern North America. Adults are large, and are brown to grey with barring on the chest. Barred owls have expanded their range to the west coast of the United States, where they are considered invasive. Mature forests are their preferred habitat, but they are also found in open woodland areas. Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, but they are also known to prey upon other small animals such as reptiles and amphibians.

two families of Barred owls just by the house for another year, great to see them successful year after year but the Robins are not too impressed by an increase in the owl population
Barred Owl
The Barred Owl (Strix varia), also known as the Northern Barred Owl, Striped Owl or, more informally, Hoot Owl, is a North American large species of owl. A member of the true owl family, Strigidae, they belong to the genus Strix, which is also the origin of the family's name under Linnaean taxonomy. Barred owls are largely native to eastern North America but have expanded their range to the west coast of North America where they are considered invasive. Mature forests are their preferred habitat, but they can also acclimate to various gradients of open woodlands. Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, but this species is an opportunistic predator and is known to prey upon other small vertebrates such as birds, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as a variety of invertebrates.

eventually I found this pair of barred owls in the woods after a couple of hour search, Mr and Mrs, looking forward to the little ones being put on display

The barred owl sits on a stump overlooking the stream in hope for the movement of a vole at the water's edge or a crayfish to pass its way

The Barred owl seems to be the number one around here in the woods, apart from the odd visit from a Black bear.. continually harassed by the Robins and the Crows, still it remains so cool despite the pressure
