Barred owls are out and about in abundance this fall and, with cameras in nearly every pocket, Greater Victorians are capturing them in some scenic settings.
The barred owl has dominated the region in owl sightings in recent generations, with the first recorded on the Island in 1969.
They’re the ones most people are familiar with. They’re a large owl, easy to see – you don’t need binoculars – and they’ll hang out anywhere, from a forested area outside of town to the Central Branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library.
