Barred Owl … I have photographed them just off Parkcenter last year and there was one in the Christmas Bird count week in River Run I have one printed in metal on my wall that was taken in Barber Park. They have become a normal winter fixture in S.E. Boise. That said I have not seen one yet this year.

A gentleman reported that this owl flew into his window twice last night.  He is listed as “Parkcenter” area.  Comments ID as barred vs great grey.  I’m inclined to go with barred since we have seen them at Shakespeare.
