The day before the fledge. Barred Owl, Owlet. The owls of Franklin County [Ohio]. 4/24
Don’t miss out on some great posts from the weekend! I must have posted at the wrong time or something… 😔
There was another great Barred Owl step momma who has raised owlets in her care for 4 years now.
We had Find-the-Flammy, a bunch of photos where you get to see some of the great camo of on of this group’s favorite owls. I much enjoyed the group of photos showing what a big difference there is just from them closing their eyes.
Finally, there was Owls in the Bluebells from an owl recue in England. There was a Ural Owl, a Tawny, and a differently colored Long Eared Owl.
If you did see them, which was your favorite or did you learn anything new?
Too fuzzy for this harsh world 😭
Also, shout out Franklin County! My home for 12 years back in the day.
Yup, not a good time to be a Barred Owl in some parts of the country. I was looking at this and thinking, “this is the big threat?”
I just looked up Franklin County and it looks to be Columbus and its suburbs, so I have indeed been there as well.
I always tell people here, anywhere you are, there are going to be owls, even in a city.
Good luck little hooty!
