It is Superb Owl Day!
Let's celebrate with pics and videos of our favorite owls 🦉

First, the Barred owl (Strix varia), native to the east and common in New Orleans.

The large bird with brown eyes and brown-and-white-striped plumage is also known as the “hoot” owl for its distinct “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?” call. Other calls include a “siren call” and a “monkey call”. Check out the sounds at https://www.audubon.org/news/hear-many-different-hoots-barred-owl

Let's see your favorites.

Deficit owls are my favorite owl. They don’t fall for BS.
