Drewesque Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Taken during an early morning jog early September 2014 Tyler, Texas (East Texas) Sorry about the poor quality—all I had was a cell phone! Was startled as I saw a large shadow swoop across a street light and I turned back to see this. It’s the only owl I’ve ever encountered in the wild. Had I been a more avid birder as I am now, I would have made more notes about its appearance. As it is, I just snapped a photo and continued along on my jog.

John Landon Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Does that owl have tufts? Edited March 5, 2019 by John Landon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I'd call it a Barred as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvoryBillHope Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Another for Barred. I thought I saw tufts at first too, but there aren't any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
