Seeing an owl at night

March 26, 2025 1:55pm CST
It is a thing of beauty, seeing an owl at night. I didn’t expect this to be at 6pm just before the sun set, but it was a pleasant surprise for sure. I see the owl a few times now, as I am always aware of roughly when it will appear. It is probs my just a common barn owl, but I don’t mind. It is fairly light in colour, and it does stand out a bit. I live near a nature reserve, and I assume that is where is heading. Out of an old disused barn and to the old quarry that is now a nature reserve.

@Danielclark691 We have a shack in the back yard with woods behind it, so we hear a lot of owls at night. Looking forward to warmer weather so we can sit out again.

Now that you know where it might appear, you'll be on the lookout for it now. The owl we see most is a tawny frogmouth owl which apparently isn't an owl at all.

That's cool. When I have my windows open at night when the weather is warm, I hear the Eastern screech owl sometimes. It sounds like a horse whinnying. Funny sound to hear.
