Re: Owl moved in the house we made
That's great Lenn, we put up a box in the barn hoping a Barn Owl would take up residence, three years on and no takers. . .

Re: Owl moved in the house we made
Thanks guys, this is a Barred owl.
I think there should be two around male and female.
It took off somewhere now, i`ll try and get more pics later.

It`s right in the yard by the bird feeders too, they don`t seem very afraid of humans.

Re: Owl moved in the house we made
Thanks Old No 7.
Been watching and there`s a owl coming every so often and sticking it`s head in the door so betting that`s a male feeding her on the nest.
Doesn`t stay there long enough to snap a picture.

Got a few pictures that arn`t very clear.
I`m shooting from in the house through a window, the picture was clear in the view so i`m not sure why it`s fuzzy.

Re: Owl moved in the house we made
That's great! Glad they found it so fast.
The call of an owl is said by my ancestors to be a sign someone you know has left this place. You better put up a SHHHHH! sign by the box.

Re: Owl moved in the house we made
Back in 03 when my mother passed and she loved owls a owl landed right outside the window and sat there looking at me.
Haven`t seen a owl since then until now so this is kinda interesting.
Thanks Gunny

Re: Owl moved in the house we made
The SAME thing happened after my wife's Mom passed -- both of them loved owls -- a cute little Saw-whet Owl showed up on the power pole outside our house that evening after the funeral... My wife was in tears, and I was thinking "this is a little weird", but I also knew it was something very special. And we never saw an owl there before or again...

Cool story No7.
Just went out with the night vision, nothing moving around the owl house but got a shot of a deer at 50 yards total dark.

We have one in our wood duck house. The wife went up the tree to clean it out and the little guy was crouched in the corner trying to figure out what was going on.

Wow, me too, that "Owl defense" is cRaZy CrAzY for sure...
Then again, I WAS once dive-bombed by a hawk while predator hunting with a hand-held call. It got my hat and finally dropped it maybe 300 yards away...

Re: Owl moved in the house we made
A type of raptor called a Mississippi Kite nests and hatches its young in one of the parks in Liberal, KS. They used to dive bomb us when the Parks Department employees were mowing the grass. After being bumped once, one of the female employees started using her tennis racket as protection. It took a few times of her knocking some of them down before they started leaving us alone.

I used to call for foxes from my tree stand until one evening an owl took my Stetson off my head! Now I only call from the ground!

Re: Owl moved in the house we made
Where we live here is the Cherokee Nation and the Cherokee consider the owl to be evil or the bringer of death. If an owl shows up, someone is going to die. I moved my first nation bride into a house and that night an owl screamed right outside our bedroom window. The next day I moved her back to town. We have Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls and those cute little Screech Owls that scream like a red headed woman being run through with a red hot poker. Just happen to be near when one of those lets loose and I'll bet you can't keep your feet still.
