I had not seen or heard the barred owls for a couple weeks. I figured the had left when some large trees were cut down near them. Today the property owner told my wife they are still there and they have some babies. Perhaps they just really quieted down now that the babies have hatched. I will try to get some photos tonight. There is also a funny thing happening there. A neighbor there has a parrot that is in a screened porch. The parrot now often imitates the owls.
