    TWO! MAGIC! I love them. These photos are absolute treasures!

    I had one in my back yard this year--sitting on the ground in the middle of the day. I found a local website about them--apparently they're not that uncommon around here.

    Don't forget to check out WingHaven if you come near Charlotte. It's a small in-city garden, but lots of birds.

    Dawn, I heard one of these in a stand of pine in the woods behind my sister's house but could not find it! You are so lucky to have seen them! Can't wait to see you when you get back here!

    Thanks Friends and family for stopping by to see these cool Barred Owls.
    We were so lucky to see them...I actually walked right past them...someone told me they were there..i looked again and saw them..they blend in so well with their surroundings.

    I am afraid I have walked by many owls sitting in trees. They blend in so well. Great photos!
