    When we moved to our current home I occasionally would notice an owl on the power line ….fast forward a few months and I started looking for her nightly, she’d sit on the line and swoop down three or four times grabbing lizards or rat snakes…..the really do take notice, as the more I began making it a routine the closer she’d get. Until one night she went to fly down for what I thought was her typical swoop and grab, BUT she didn’t she actually came down to land and sat there about 15ft from me for two or so minutes …..as time went on she’d come closer and closer, fast forward 4 years and 2 or 3 times a week when the street is quiet she come in for a landing about three feet from me and stay a few minutes while I softly whisper to her. It NEVER gets old❤️

    I hear barred owls on my property in the white mountains of Maine. Last week, right over my head, in a huge old hemlock tree an owl suddenly joined another, and they caterwauled for about two minutes. Branches were breaking and I recorded the sounds on my phone. I had NEVER seen an owl before while living in the city. I LOVE these owls. Love them. Thank you for this great video love it.

    We have a pair of barred owls that keep getting closer and closer now. I know they have to be comfortable with getting close. I've heard babies for a while now but they're not in the same place as the newest ones. I live in middle Tennessee and WAY out in the country. Our backyard is a HUGE bluff with a beautiful clear creek below it. Very close to our deck. They like to land in the yard and check us out. This is not my first experience with the barred owls but it is for my husband. A few years ago I had at least 20 that wasn't afraid of nothing. They hung out on my truck, the deck, front porch and they followed me in and out of my driveway. It was amazing. Your excitement about them is really cool. I think my husband is terrified because he has never seen a owl until now. I wish you could see our backyard because you would flip out. Thanks so much for sharing your exciting experience. P.S. My husband in a carpenter so I will be having a box for them.... LoL Thanks again

    I’m also addicted to my barred owls and was so lucky to see them mate last year while I was videotaping the female in my water maple , they was quick about 5 seconds, in February, then sit side by side. Week later in my back water maple! No owl box but they usually sit on same branches, come spring I seen a new one and I’m sure it was one of the pair that I witnessed! So cute and excited I can call them in, they r used to me, and it took me 4 years to finally see them, I’m so in love with them we have woods and creek behind our house, so many incredible pics and videos. I’m new to posting, but it’s the highlight of my day I look forward to the evenings and have landed only inches from me on my deck talking to me, and wondering “she doesn’t look like a owl” but will continue to hang out. I love them and have been blessed to b able to capture such beautiful nature!!

Unfortunately this year I didn’t get to document the owls. And I’m also pretty confident that one of them didn’t make it. This year I decided to put a ladder in front of the box and climb up it and look inside. There were two babies in there. When I went to go back to my dads house and look for them in this year I never found more than one 😢

    Frank, Thanks for a great documentary! My husband and I moved to our current home in Wisconsin over 20 years ago. The first night here, we heard what sounded like monkeys. Now we know the Barreds can get pretty raucus. At the time, our daughter was 9 and snapped pics of 3 owlets in the woods on the side of our house. Life was busy with running kids around to their activities and both of us working full time. In the past 5 years or so, we realized a pair of Barreds was hanging out on our property and we felt like we were " chosen"! They are so cool! This year I was able to take pics with my phone right from my bedroom window! We never saw owlets since all those years ago but everything I read told me owls would fledge by late April or early May so you gave me hope for later this month or next, plus now I know to listen for that juvenile call. Thanks again for sharing!!

    Hi, thanks for watching! I love your story. That’s amazing that they’re still around. I would have to say it’s unlikely that it’s the original pair that’s around but would not be surprised at all if it is their offspring. And yes it is that time, unfortunately the owls haven’t used the box at my dad’s house the past couple years but I have a couple friends who have boxes/nest on their property right now and some of the outlets have made their way while some are still in. Keep your ears peeled for that sound, I bet you’ll hear it soon!

    Love your video it was exactly the kind of video I was looking for. Thank you. So thrilling to see these owls stories and was so affected by your enthususiasism. My fiance and I had a similar experience finding, following and communicating with three owlettes we had spotted on a branch near dusk in a nature preserve. Eventually they came when we called them and it was almost like they enjoyed our showing up and calling for them. One time when I called them they followed us in the woods while we walked the path. A couple of weeks before the owlets left to find their own nests, the female and male adults once had a courting serenade with one another for about 20 minutes on a branch above our path delighted. I felt like they had waited for us to arrive as we walked slowly down the path in the full moon until we stood beneath them. Interacting with these wild owls is one of the most exciting things I have ever done. Watching your video and your enthusiasm brought all of this wonderful experience with the thrill and excitement back.

    So gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! I was blessed enough to witness the nesting season of a beautiful family of Barred Owls a couple years ago in a park near my house, I would walk to the park every evening at dusk and they would be there perching in several different trees, it was the BEST experience, but sadly I didn't see them in the subsequent years. I still watch for them every Spring though! 💓🦉💓🦉

    Amazing footage. I love watching the owls that land near my house and on my fence. Unfortunately I found one down the street from my house dead near a busy road. Probably hit by a car while hunting at night. I was told by animal control not to bury it so I removed it and placed it in my back yard for the neighborhood fox. It sat there for a few days and last night the owl was gone. Circle of life. Sad but it's part of life.

    Hey thank you very much. I always get excited when other people tell me they get to see owls on their property too. I have found a couple dead over the past year myself. Honestly I pick them both up off the side of the road, brought them home and took a really good look at them and did the same thing you did. Put them out for something else to benefit from it. I did cut the talons off of them to to have as a keep safe.

    Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for all the beautiful images. So cool you got them in your box. I grew up in East Haddam. Mill Road. Lots of Barred Owls. That wheezy squeal they're doing is a food-begging cry. Females use it as a solicitation squeal but it is less raspy. I record sounds for Cornell University and Barred Owls have quite a vast repertoire. I love the females voice better. Thanks again. Enjoy.
