Merlin was recently asking about owning owls in North America -- which you cannot do unless you hold state, federal and falconer's permits.
But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them!
I had nearly forgotten about this site, but am attaching a link to a site called "The Birds of Madison County". A couple who live near the Killbuck wetlands in Anderson, in central Indiana, maintain this site, changing the photos monthly (it's always a treat to see what they have posted -- their photos are great!).
But over the last several years, they have tracked a family of barred owls in territory quite near their home, from Mama and Papap, through the triplets Homer, Gomer and Roamer, to twins Victoria and Albert.
I clicked through the history this morning, and decided that a lot of you would enjoy seeing these wonderful owls, too. Hope you enjoy the trip and the story!
