Barred Owl - Dogwood Park, BC
We saw the posting on eBird and headed that way, When we went for a walk in the off leash area of the very well named, Dogwood Park. We asked a couple owners if they had seen a barred owl and apparently there was one moving around in the cedar forest down the path. We hear a screeching down further into the trees, in the the way little owls beg for food and headed that way. Sure enough this little fuzzball was hanging out waiting for a snack. Barred Owls are relatively new to British Columbia as they were able to make their way from Eastern Canada by stopping in at the planted homesteads along the prairies. They have eventually made their way to California in the 1980's
