How very unfortunate that yet, another Barn Owl is dead. Sadly one evening, many years ago, I was traveling home after dark, and out of seemingly nowhere, a Screech Owl, flew into the side of our SUV and was killed.

They may be feasting on some road-kill themselves or just waiting for a mouse to cross the road. I have often had to brake for an owl that was blinded by the lights of my vehicle. Others, unfortunately are not as observant or caring.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-32517878585832881792013-05-01T08:08:30.144+01:002013-05-01T08:08:30.144+01:00I'd love to see a barn owl hunting if it was l...I'd love to see a barn owl hunting if it was light enough.

Shorebirds used to be ringed out here as well but recently colored flags have been used. Some are also being marked with numbers and figures. This makes it much easier to see details from a distance away - mostly through a scope. I still find it exciting when I spot on of these special birds and report it back to the central data base. mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-7227745158559175532013-04-30T19:37:36.938+01:002013-04-30T19:37:36.938+01:00Thanks for the follow up on this bird.
