I've seen the Barn Owl fly, and made a gallery of those photos. Therefore, i really appreciate this gallery, such a beautiful bird, and well captured Bob!!!

Bob,
What a TREAT viewing your wonderful photographs tonight. Our daughter Lise' Miller and we her parents were here at the banding of these OWLS that day you were there taking the pictures. Wow! Yours certainly turned out much better than ours. But it was so nice meeting you. And you did an excellent job on your web site. Thank you for sharing.

Great gallery Bob these birds are a huge love of mine, to own one too gives me so much pleasure! But these images give an understanding about the importance of banding to others! A big thank you!

Awesome series, Bob! That portrait of Mom, aka Nothing To It, is another very typical Bob Moul owl shot....unparalleled by we mere mortals!

Great photos. We had a hay nest in our barn, but not sure if it was
Barn Owls. Was this nest in a silo?
