"Any chance you could give me more specifics?? I've been near desperate to see a barn owl for a long time...
(No worries if the "code of owls" prevents this...) :)

Not a great shot but a great find! Hopefully better pics to come, got to get a better position, tricky stuff its on boulder open space with no trespassing signs everywhere! Ugh!

"You have yourself an osprey. It didn't leave becasue it is more than likely sitting on eggs! These large platforms are built all over the country to encourage ospreys to nest, they are a bit demanding and require a very, very last nesting…"
Snowy Owl
"Where did you get this shot? I went down to colorado springs to take photos of the snowy owl down there and never found it. Is it still around?"
Jon Lutz left a comment for Tasha LeRoux"Those barn owls were found between 124th and 128th Avenue on Claude Court, a mile or two east of I-25. On the east side of Claude Ct there is an old silo adjacent to a beauty or hair salon. I found these on the back side of this structure, snoozing…"
The Big Baiting Issue - Opinions Wanted!
"Hmm...this is a tricky one. I guess my main concern is imprinting, but a few mice a couple of times shouldn't affect an Owl that greatly. I'm suprised it responded to the bait actually, never heard of scavenging owls. I can't imagine…"

- Those barn owls were found between 124th and 128th Avenue on Claude Court, a mile or two east of I-25. On the east side of Claude Ct there is an old silo adjacent to a beauty or hair salon. I found these on the back side of this structure, snoozing during late afternoon. They have a nice setup there, with a small "window" on the south side that looks like a good nesting spot. I hope they return. If you find any this year, here or elsewhere, please let me know. I'll do the same. - Jon

They were too young to start adventuring outside the box, but are probably about ready now. I hope to make it back sometime soon around dusk to see the parents. I couldn't find them during the day.
