Barred Owl (Strix varia)
Observation
I observed this owl on 17 September 2011 while attending the Wildlife Conservation Festival at the John Heinz National Refuge Center in Philadelphia, PA. When I saw this owl, it reminded me of the movie Legend of the Guardians. The animated movie featured Barred Owls. The small owl has brown and white feathers with wide circles around the eyes. This owl, like the others, was calm while standing on the perch until a dog appeared. The owl immediately became flustered and began to spread his wings as if he wanted to escape. Once the dog was removed the owl became calm again.
