Much more of a woods dweller. Barred Owls can be anything from a lighter tone like the pic to a much darker brown overall. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 69,681 #9 Posted April 21, 2024 So for those that are curious... I showed this picture to my Local Ornithology Expert/BBT. She did a search on the gooooglebox and believes this particular bird to be either a winter phase or younger aged Barred. She's had Snowy Owls at work at the hospital in Portland... IN THE BUILDING The difference is in the facial stripes and coloring. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They nest behind my neighbor's house every year. They can watch them from the back porch! The Wife is a photographer and has many Snowy pictures from Plumb Island, but only a few Barred. She had a ball. Edited April 21, 2024 by Wayne0 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
