Barred Owl
Barred Owls roost quietly in trees during the day, though they can occasionally be heard calling in daylight hours.
A very quiet creature, day or night. They glide silently thru the air.
She silently glided to the ground but didn't find a prey.

Burrowing Owl
Although he (she?) was fairly alert for a while, he was comfortable enough with me that he tucked in that one foot. I suspect he has seen a camera pointed at him before.
In Cape Coral
