Found some feathers and thought I'd share!

First up a wild turkey!

Next up is a barred owl!

A red shouldered hawk!

Next is a bit iffy but it's most likely a broad winged hawk

And lastly a great horned owl!

Hope y'all enjoyed this little post about feathers, and some of the birds we've spotted!

As always, after taking pictures make sure to put the feathers back where you found them in accordance of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act!

#i added a couple pictures of the fellas that we've seen that match up with the feathers we've found! #im still a bit new to birds #but a few bird friends said its a broad shouldered hawk so we're going with it #animals #trail cam #nature #mammals #critters #wild life #wildlife #birds #feathers #owls #barred owls #hawks #turkey #red shouldered hawk #broad shouldered hawk #wild turkey #great horned owl #no one get on me about the Migratory Bird Treaty Act #im not starting with that

Ovid is delighted that some fellow owls have recently been hanging out in our neighborhood — take a listen and learn some Barred Owl facts!

Image descriptions are in the alt text. Video description is below the readmore.

Video description: a squishmallow bigfoot and squishmallow owl on a windowsill next to a gray and white cat, who peers out into the darkness of night as owls call outside. Text above the video reads “Ranger Ovid presents: Barred Owls Calls & Facts” with a photo of a barred owl to the right. This owl is light brown and white with close set eyes in a round face. As the video plays, speech bubbles pop up occasionally: the bigfoot says “volume up!” The keychain owl says “sounds like its saying…” to which the barred owl replies “who cooks for you all?” The cat asks “who is making all that noise?” The keychain owl says “barred owls are informally called eight-hooters — bet you can guess why!” / end video description.

Barred Owls in Colleyville Nature Center, Colleyville, Texas, United States

Stephanie LeBlanc

The barred owl, also known as the northern barred owl, striped owl or, more informally, hoot owl or eight-hooter owl, is a North American large species of owl.

Conservation status: Least Concern (Population increasing) 

Scientific name: Strix varia

Mass: 1.4 – 1.8 lbs

Class: Aves

Domain: Eukaryota

Family: Strigidae

Genus: Strix

Habitat: Woodlands, wooded river bottoms, and wooded swamps. Favors mostly dense and thick woods with only scattered clearing, especially in low-lying and swampy areas. Most common in deciduous or mixed woods in southeast, but in north and northwest may be found in mature coniferous trees.

Diet: Typically a perch hunter, the barred owl is an opportunistic feeder that takes a variety of small mammals including rodents, young hares, bats, mink, weasels, squirrels, birds and even large insects. Where available, eats lizards, snakes, frogs, salamanders, and crawfish.

squirrels and birds do not approve

this bad boi has all the little guys on the block in an uproar, but doesn't seem to care much. even after flying to a higher branch (didn't like how close I got), this Barred Owl (aka Hoot Owl) eventually fell asleep despite a cacophony of chips and barks

adults can grow to 60 cm (25 in) long and have a wingspan up to 125 cm (50 in)

More to come (soon)

I’m dismayed to see I didn’t post in 2023. I’m reading a terrific book called Our Wild Calling by Richard Louv – that’s the inspiration (indirectly) for this. I got a couple pictures I really enjoyed last time I was at Pony Pasture (2/25/2024). Here’s one: That – if you’re unaware, or even if you are aware – is a Barred Owl. Its mate was only about ten feet to the right in this scene but the…

Barred Owls! Making noises!

There is nothing more simultaneously irritating, adorable, and eerie than being kept up by the weird throaty screams of baby barred owls.
