Anyway, I was working hard then
I could hear the chick squawking for food.
Off I went, as I needed a break!
It was a hot afternoon and the female was out of the nest for some air. There were crows in the locale, which concerned her.

Eventually, the squawking was enough, I wasn't videotaping just taking photos at this point, and she turned glared at the chick, stretched and went back into the nest. I went back Sunday and Monday but didn't hear or see anything.

i have been working so hard in my yard and gardens as well. awesome captures of the owls!!!!
Wow. This is wonderful. I would so love to see one of these owls. I wouldn't get any work done around the place if I were you. I'd be too busy looking at the wildlife and taking pictures.
Such a beautiful bird!

Very very special... YAM xx
What a privilege to see the barred owl. She is so well camouflaged that you must have sharp eyes to spot her.
I hate rototillers. They're hard work. I like the old digging fork. Never let the grass overtake thinks as then it's a losing battle.
Oh my! That is so cool!
