Ashish...yes I do and I'm rather obsessed with them at this point in life. Thanks for your comment.

Yes it very much is a barred owl unlike the great gray owl in my profile pic. The great gray has yellow eyes.

Thanks LauraMaria. What & how did you feed the baby Tawny Owl?
LauraMaria
That is super cute!! What a face, and those enormous eyes! Owl chicks are so adorable, I volunteered at a local owl sanctuary and got to babysit a baby tawny owl someone had found. They're like big balls of fluffy feathers!

Hi Wendy, The picture was taken in the wild in a small urban park. The barred owls have been nesting there for 2 years straight. Thank you for your comments Wendy & Raiyan.
