Photo of the Month: Barred Owl

Sent in by Marilyn Hubley, this Barred Owl photo makes me want to cuddle up for the winter. In my mind, it’s the perfect way to start the season.
The Barred Owl ranges across Canada’s forests from Atlantic Canada through British Columbia. This large owl greatly resembles the Spotted Owl, with which it likely competes in the rain forests of BC. The Barred Owl is best known for its distinctive “who cooks for you, who cooks for you all” calls.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful image, Marilyn!
