This is a photo of a young Barred Owl taken at a friend's house on Kingston Peninsula, New Brunswick, Canada.

This Barred Owl (Strix varia) seemed quite content to just sit there and let me take a few pics. This was in Amherst Island, southern Ontario.

Barred Owl with lunch. While on Amherst Island searching for Northern Saw-whets and Boreal Owls I came across this Barred Owl with a Garter Snake. By the looks of things I must have just missed the capture. Image made with a Canon 30D, 500mm, f5.6, 1/600, ISO 500, handheld.

At Domaine Maizeret (Quebec) Sunday morning.

This morning again.

This bird was so focused on what it was watching on the ground that it allowed me to get to within about 10 meters before looking up. I used a Canon Rebel XTi and Canon 100-400 IS zoom lens to get the photo.

Made the three hour drive to Presqu'ile Provincial Park in the hope to see one of a number of Barred Owls that were sighted the week prior. I was not disappointed... had some fabuluos views and watched as this owl was actively hunting. Image made with a Canon 30D; 200mm 2.8 lens @ f2.8; 1/800; ISO...

My friend and I drove six hours to presqu'ile provincial park to photograph these beautiful owls, the experience and the pictures made the drive well worth it. Canon 50D and 500 F4 lens.

Barred Owl catching some rays. Lots of Barred Owls this winter in southern Ontario. It's not hard to find 10 or so on any given day.

Life's a hoot. This photo was taken February 14, 2010, at Presqui'le Provincial Park where there have been numerous Barred Owls sighted since late October 2009. I had been watching this Barred Owl sleep in the sun and all of a sudden it broke out into what seemed like laughter, and it made me...

Taken in March on a power line near Shepody Marsh in Albert county, New Brunswick. Many Barred Owls were seen during daytime hours this year probably due to lack of available food, they had to hunt more hours than usual.

Image made at Presqu'ile Provincial Park in Ontario. As many as 12 Barred Owls were reported, and we were lucky to see five the day we went. Canon MKIV; 500mm f4 l IS; at f4; 1/500; ISO 400; tripod mounted; Wimberly Type II Head.

I call this photo "The Stare Down." I found a pair of Barred Owls one morning and when I got the camera setup he just stared at me for a long time. I guess he was wondering "what is that?"

Photo taken late last winter, when many Barred Owls were day hunting due to little available food sources.

I came across this Barred Owl on Christmas Eve hanging around a feeder while out for a walk at my local conservation area called Lemoine Point in Kingston, Ontario.

This was taken out back of my house. My 11-year-old son spotted the Barred Owl while running our dogs. It was taken with a Fujifilm FinePix camera on regular setting. He was so excited that he scared the owl and was amazed on how long the wingspan was. Now he takes the camera everywhere he goes in the...
