Well, for the last four years we had a hawk couple raise theyre young in a big tree in our back yard.
Usually around this time of year there is a lot of screetching,chasing,courtshipping going on.
I haven't seen nor heard any of them since middle of last week.
I know that they had started building on the nest and sitting in it two weeks ago.
So i got my binoculars and checked on the nest and guess what was looking right back at me :
can you see her ? a big barn owl !!! That's going to be interesting to watch the young ones once they hatch ! I'll post pic's of them if i can get some...

How wonderful...seems that raptors are really on the rise lately. I've seen so many hawks, ospreys and eagles lately I'm amazed. I haven't seen our local owl, but can hear him in the neighbours trees. Hopefully I get a glimpse.
Great picture of your neighborhood owl. I've only seen white ones and that was in my home state, North Dakota.
I've left you a little surprise in my blog, here
