A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Strix varia
large owl, whitish with dark streaks, round head with no ear tufts
woodlands
This owl was eyeing our very large half-Lab through the porch screen. I think he was trying to decide if he could carry her off!
Nice shot, Myra...he/she looks ready to pounce on you! I'd love you to add this to the mission Raptors of North America: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
It is a lot of fun, and a great way to learn of organisms that are not native to your area. It is also a great place to find people who have a great love for wildlife as well. All and all this is one great community, at least that is the way I see it.
Welcome to Project Noah, myraj2. Your owl is indeed a Barred Owl, you should edit this spotting and put its scientific name which is Strix varia, by doing this you will take this out of the unidentified category.
