Here's the entry on Barred Owls from the Seattle Audubon Society. The Barred Owl may have expanded its range in the 20th century, as stated in Wikipedia, but I don't have confidence in Wiki or the enviros on this.

LOL! Maybe I should change my screen name to TheBarredOwl?
Seriously, all the devastation to the logging industry, for what???? Once again, Mother Nature gives the humans the middle finger. Does this mean that they can revive logging now?
Occasionally we see Barn Owls. Those things are HUGE.
Just more proof of the lunacy of radical environmentalists. I can’t believe the article actually said that MAN’s WESTWARD EXPANSION CREATED the forests that allowed the barred owl to move West. I always thought they blamed Man for DESTROYING the forests. LOL
It never fails ! Liberals are always proven wrong with the passage of time. Always. Too bad everyone has such short memories.

At first - I thought you should - but as it stands now - you are protected. Think about being mistaken for a barfly!!!! That’ll never do;)
