Description
A pair of young Barred Owls (Strix varia) sit high atop a Beech tree in Carmel, Indiana. Recently fledged from the nest, these guys along with a third baby are learning the ropes of how to navigate among the big trees in the forest when they don't have their flight feathers yet.
The Barred Owl’s hooting call, “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?” is a classic sound of old forests and treed swamps. But this attractive owl, with soulful brown eyes and brown-and-white-striped plumage, can also pass completely unnoticed as it flies noiselessly through the dense canopy or snoozes on a tree limb.
