From Wild Skies Raptor Center

Enjoy this photo dump of some of the patients we've seen this year. All of these owls have been released and we still have four in our care. This year, they've come to us for window and auto collisions, gunshots, fishing line, and electricity. Let's appreciate the beauty of these regal raptors and do our part in helping them stay wild.

I love Barn Owls too, but you gotta admit, they’re a bit scary looking and very scary sounding.

Speaking of which: I recently read a book that was a bit gothic in style, and the author described the character walking through the woods and hearing a screech owl. I immediately wondered if the author actually knew what a screech owl sounds like. My fellow owl enthusiasts, what do you think? Do you think she was imagining a Barn Owl sound but didn’t realize that screech owls don’t make that sound?

Screech Owl noises are too cute. They would do the exact opposite of adding tension to a scene.

Barn or Barred are the spooky ones.
