r/Owls

Barn owl napping in the afternoon. Opened it's eyes briefly.

Two siblings were fighting- I got called to investigate-caught them so they could be evaluated for feeding and injuries- they were good so returned them next day-

I call him Simon

I Run into one of them almost every other day past couple of weeks. See them hunting in the evening and just chilling during the afternoon.

Friend snapped this beauty photo in south eastern Manitoba.

Temp ~8C just after 19:00 on May 19, 2026

I think it’s a long eared owl due to the way it is (more centred ear tufts, facial disc, and plumage) and I’d appreciate either confirmation or correction (if you can educate me I’d really appreciate it) then I can pass it on to the photographer.

I posted a pic (#2) of the look he gave me after I moved him from a square wire fence he was getting caught in learning to branch (with welding gloves as he was not impressed).

He surely recognized me from then on as this is the look I’d get

Found this lil guy on the highway on my way home from work. Vehicles driving right over it :( it’s really windy today in Kansas. I got ahold of a local bird rehabber and he’s now taken it in! He said it’s a busy day for him with it being baby season and it being so windy.

My dad found this lad in his house in Punta Indio, Argentina

I would really appreciate if someone could identify it for me

I've been searching for 4 years and finally found and photographed one!
