amanda, i am not sure of the science, i.e. data of how many barred owls are here but people often send me photos of them in their yard or lithis park. they are hardy generalist and that is why they present a problem for the other owls. a woman just told me she saw one in lithia park. i was wood river day use area and saw one 3 weeks ago. . i love owls but these beauties create a big out of balance problem for the other owls. shannon

A friend of mine in Medford sent me some photos today of a barred owl that arrived in their yard today around 3pm. At my house in Ashland, my Haiku box (continuous audio monitor using the Cornell database) has been identifying a barred owl routinely for a while, but I kind of discounted it as nearby construction noise (and I haven't gone out playing or listening for it). I would have thought that barred owls were rare around here, but now I'm wondering if that's not true? I see that they turn up every now and then on ebird checklists in the valley. Does anyone have a sense of whether their numbers are increasing in our area? Thanks, Amanda Alford
