This is shaping up to be both a good and bad winter for barred owls. It’s a good one for people who want to see them, and the increase in people reporting seeing them is what has prompted me to write this. Unfortunately, it may also be bad for barred owls on a number of fronts, including food availability and increased mortality from car strikes. ~ Maine Audubon Staff Naturalist Doug Hitchcox
