Sneaking up on a Barred Owl!

I had a close encounter with this beautiful bird. Amazing to see up close.

    You didn’t sneak up on it, it knew you were there. Barred owls have different retina than most other owls which lets much more light through, therefore their eyes are very sensitive. You were shining a light at it so it turned its head to avoid staring into the light. I do this all the time with the barred owls in my area to get up close with them.

    I've been living in my RV at the lake and I have a Barred Buddy. He an his female raised 3 chick's. All survived. I started calling the male about a year ago and that's where I discovered the female and the nest. I had pictures of them but since My new phone had such a huge memory I didn't bother to back them up. Lss... phone burnt. No pics.. LOL Anyways, the chick's hatched grew to around 12-24" high and they all 4 visit when I call.. They are really smart birds. When it was time to learn how to fly... you'd have thought there were 20 chimpanzees in the tree's!!! They were wild!! Awesome video. Don't forget to backup. Lol

    Another reason as to why the owl allowed the camera to get so close is due to their mostly calm and curious temperament around humans.

    Falcons and Hawks are mortal enemies to the Owl. Owls are known to eat their young if they find a nest. Most hawks wouldn't think of taking on a owl head to head, but occasionally they do. It's also interesting because Hawks are day birds and Owls mostly night birds, so opposite energy. I would say you are gifted with some powerful bird medicine

    I mean that is a hugely unnatural amount of light, likely disorienting and when disoriented most animals just freeze. So you just disturb it for your own vanity and then say awesome? What's the point? You didn't rescue it, it wasnt a nuissance being somewhere it shoudbt be. You just forced it from a potential hunting spot because you could?
