Observation details
Medium large brown owl with black eyes, streaked chest and yellow bill. No ear tufts. Perched on steel fence post 50 feet from Center Patrol road on east side over looking a cut hay field about 1 mile north of Knox pond and Five mile Rd. From a distance figured we had the usual short eared owl at sundown but once we got closer we realized it was a Barred owl! To the best of my knowledge it is 3rd record for MNWR ( the other two records March 1996 and October 2000 were at headquarters about 20 mi north of here in trees ) and about the 5th for the county (in Hines). What a nice way to end a full day of birding from Burns to Frenchglen with about 60 species on a cool winter blue sky day. Photos.
