What is Superb Owl Sunday? It is a day to celebrate owls while others are immersed in football. Some go on hikes, trips to the zoo, or a wildlife refuge where owls have been known to be. Here is one kind of owl I saw recently: the barred owl.
We have experienced a few minor snow storms to date that have only left a few inches of the the fluffy white stuff. This was after one of these storms. This owl did not look too happy about it.
It was a dark and dreary day after the snow fall. When I took the above picture it was from an angle with less light. This the the first time I have seen a barred owl sitting parked in a tree hole. I have seen the owlets do this, but not an adult. The parent will stay inside the hole in side the tree when there are eggs and when there are owlets not ready to fledge. I have only seen the owlets at the hole just prior to fledging.
If you were not into the Super Bowl I hope you were able to get out an enjoy something else like the Superb Owl Sunday.

Very nice find. Your subject was kind and stayed put. I like it when they cooperate.

I think he or she was as snug as a bug in a rug there. It did not want to leave that hole, which was fine with me. It is hard to get them in flight in the woods anyways.

That is quite the superb Owl you have there. I have to say, I have never seen a Barred in a hole, how intriguing.

I have only seen the babies before they fledged or climbed up thee tree before fledging. I have heard mother owl inside a tree hole make a barred sound in winter. She used another tree hole to lay eggs in in spring.
