Kevin 1,109 Posted November 26 Last night I saw a Barn Owl! It is not really a lifer do to that I have seen them before. But it is the first one I have seen since I stated birding. A few years ago we were siting out side right at dusk, and five Barn Owls flew right over us! It was quite a site. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Kestrel is one of the birds that I most want to see in real life. They're so beautiful and interesting-looking in photos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
