Yesterday was our first evening back in Minnesota. As I stepped outside I could hear at least two pair of Barred Owls discussing land ownership issues. It actually sounded like there are possibly three pair. Oakwood is a round wooded pennisula, large enough to support a single pair of owls. Across a little bay is Oakhurst, in the past the territory of another pair. The Oakwood owls consider those Oakhurst Owls as decidedly inferior interloppers and they regularily let them know it.
Three pair? There is simply not enough defined territory for three pair of Barred Owls in the neighborhood.
