Still here. In a different tree right over the sidewalk. Just finished snow blowing the drive and shoveling the walk. Sat there and watched us the whole time. He is sleeping now that the noise has stopped. Spooky how they look you right in the eye.

Barn owls are the thing I miss most about our farm.......
Here is a couple of shots I got before leaving.

Ooooo.... very envious of you folk with owls. I occasionally hear a little screech owl here but I don't know where it is nested. I love owls and would love to add one to all the other visiting birds here.
And in English its.......The female says Twit to the male, and he answers Who? Echoes of human life.....

Mrs Danllan has a thing for taxidermy / skeletons... the weird stuff we have had in a freezer includes a tawny owl. The size and asymmetric position of their ear-holes is quite remarkable, but allows stereo-hearing to a far higher degree than ours.
Take a squint at the pic below, showing a barn owl feathered, plucked and bare-boned; remarkable birds.

It would be fantastic if everybody that read this thread would invest in an owl box (http://www.barnowl.co.uk/product6.asp).
To have your farm chosen as place of residence by a Barn Owl is priceless.

Lovely sound but not sure where how you can fit 'who cooks for you' from that!

Got a raft of those down the sheep fields, they sit very tight in the grass (ground roosters) a spaniel nose up the bum gets them air borne,! They then tend to hunt behind us in the grass margins whilst we're putting up electric fence. Get heaps of twitchers trying to see them, and getting grumpy when we roar past on the quad only to be presently surprised that the owls follow us about so making it easy for them to get their photo's.
Although have seen a lot less over the last few weeks so not sure if they aren't buggering off to pastures new.

Reminds me of the Gruffalo (daughters favourite cartoon) "where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come and have tea in my treetop house"

Have made my own this year (targeting Tawny as more common round here) and another one for a Little Owl (latter very complex, surprised I didn't need building regs)
