I didn’t read every single word, but I read the start and did a good scan.

I’m a bit confused.

Where did the Barred Owl come from? They imply it shouldn’t be here, but never actually say that?

So was it human intervention (somebody released a bunch there) or just the Barred expanding? Or did Barreds move from 1 territory to another because of human development?

That's one theory that is suggested in the article.  Barred owls from from the east.

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.
