we have the same type owl here in lake anne he/she moves among the different
valleys at night.

It is real peaceful to hear them calling at night to each other.

I built and owl box in the next valley over but they did not move in, I
guess they found a better tree.

Ours seems to migrate leaving in the winter and coming back in the spring
and fall.

One of the other treats has been to watch our great blue heron growing up! -
As a preteen he was just kind of all blue now as a teen the is getting some
vivid color to him!

For several years now we have been fortunate to have a family of owls
that visit quite regularly. I am not sure why they like our yard, but
probably because I made a 23 gallon concrete bird bath in the ground and
it is just their size. They are Barred Owls and are pretty big. They
seem to travel around Scottish Hills Subdivision in Cary quite a bit
andprobably frequent the Apex Reservior Park nearby.

Cool, thanks for sharing Wes. I love owls.

what they seem."
