IT'S A WILD WORLD
Barred owls are year-round residents in
Florida. According to All About Birds, mem-
bers of this avian species "don't migrate and
they don't even move around very much."
They are difficult to see once they have
landed in a tree. I photographed this Barred
Owl in my backyard in Bradenton and am
fortunate to have a breeding pair nesting
nearby.
Most days around noon, I hear their call:
"Who cooks for you? Who cooks for
you, all?" %
