Barred Owl (Strix varia)Observer
velizoDescription
Found an adult Barred Owl on a trail, and then saw the baby Barred Owl nearby on the ground peeking out from behind a large tree trunk!
The other adult was also perched nearby up higher looking down.
Returned soon later to find the baby climbing up the large tree trunk a few steps at a time with intermediate flapping. Adult would call softly to him (a soft, quieter version of her territorial call [not "who-cooks-for-you, caterwauling, or hee-aw], presumably encouraging him to climb higher or fly. She eventually flew over to him and he flew to the branch she was on.
