New England Owls

These owls were photographed in New England. The Great Gray Owl and the Hawk Owl are rare visitors to the region. Both were in New Hampshire. The Snowy Owl was at Salisbury State Park. The Barred Owl was perched in a tree at Ouincy Market in downtown Boston; it's usual habitat is deep woods.

Dori,
The red phase Screech Owl is indeed deceased. Unfortunately, it flew into the front grill of my car early in the morning. I donated the bird to an ornithologist for study.

What happened to the screech owl? That poor bird is dead. Its poses are unusual. Its right eye in pic #1--it's separated from the socket.

Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am impressed! Very helpful info specially the last part :) I care for such information much. I was seeking this certain information for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.

Maria, Great Gray Owls are an impressive sight! The one I saw seemed quite impervious to me and several other people watching it sit on a low branch searching for prey. I think it was more likely after small rodents than your turkeys.

I saw a great grey OWL. I'm quite certain because i was less than 6 yards away. it was perched in a leafless black oak tree @ 3 yards away and about the same up.... looking down into my pen of heritage breed turkeys. I was very nervous and he/she seemed not the least bit perturbed by my efforts to herd my turkeys back into there house (they were even more sanguine) but have become less worried after i thought about it.... i saw its swoop down on something and think it was one of the many voles. I'm in Peterborough NH.

I am looking at a Barred Owl in my backyard woods today during the late afternoon heavy winds sitting on a branch for over an hour. I believe it is a Barred Owl.

I envy your documentation of your owls here, LD, after my two years of birding. I saw the GHO for the first time this past week (on the Gulf of Mexico). The Strigidae seem to have a preference to be near water. My brother lives in Salisbury, coincidentally.
