Yesterday while walking my dog, I observed a single Barred Owl in a pine tree in the backyard of a house along Mimring Road in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus. This location is close to the Walhalla ravine, where I had observed a pair of the owls last year. I have also observed old owl sign under a pine tree in the alley that runs behind my house, so I believe that the Barred Owls are probably breeding somewhere in the general neighborhood. I'd go out and check for calls at night, but my own newborn takes priority right now. If anyone is hearing the birds calling in the Walhalla area, might want to think about submitting that data to the OBBA.
