Walk the Pristine White Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary Trails!
The nuts are fantastic. The wood is gorgeous when finished. Hope they return.....
Cool video. I have them on my land and love to hear them at night.
Explains why dogs and cats tilt their head when hearing a sound they don't understand! Their ears are like the owl ears then, in angle one higher than the other! I never thought about it like this before and I'm wondering if others thought this too.
I think this woman lives in the woods behind my house.
I love owls ❤❤❤❤❤
Porcupines make trees much more ecologically diverse. They are hated by the timber industry. In Colorado they are protected because they are the only Wildlife that a man can walk up to and kill to save himself from starvation. I once cooked one on a spit, it was delicious with fat dripping off of it
I just learned about them yesterday.
What?
Cool.
I live in central MA and have seen barred owls a few times - they're so big!! That wingspan is definitely a shocker when one flies over my head out on the trail. They don't seem to be too bothered by me and on one occasion I walked right up to one face to face before I noticed it was there 👀
What about the Turkey and Pheasant they wipeout?
I noticed this barred owl has a gray or silver beak, whereas all the others I've seen have a yellow beak. What's the cause behind this?
How’s Shakespeare doing today ?
Lucky Shakespeare! I tried to rescue a barred owl that was hit by a cyclist, Audubon was not able to save him😢.
What a breathtaking beauty he is ❤
Owls are fascinating creatures !
Make varmints great again
I really thought they’re small . Nope! They are cute tho
I think owls are cool, no matter what kind they are. I think I have two mated pairs on my property, one is Great Horned Owls, but I haven't identified the other pair yet. Both pairs are very welcome !!!
I subscribed just because the amazing way she presented the information.
Friday, April 12, 2024 ☁🌥☁ Oh, cool, this is fun to learn a few things about barred owls! 🌳 🦉🌳 I was at a campground south of Bloomington, Indiana. There were a dozen folks gathered around a fire, chatting in the evening. 🌖 We heard 3 barred owls 🌳🦉🦉🦉🌳hooting nearby, and another barred owl 🌳🦉🌳hooting farther into the forest. 🌳🦉🌳 I wish everyone a happy, nature filled spring of 2024, and fun times with family and friends, Anthony! 🌳🎋🐿🌳🐇🐇🎋🐞🎋🌿🍄
Wow you did that sound really good that’s great
“Shakespeare” almost went out like a true owl. Catching flight. On the Hunt. Through the night. Since he’s been barred from leaving the sanctuary, he’s the mockery of the airbirdgades.
Dang, I knew they were big but he says the males are 20 lbs heavier, that is BIG. Gorgeous animal!
Government is supporting the idea of a cull of Barred Owls to reduce predation on the Pacific Northwest Spotted owl
I saw two of these either in the midst of a mating ritual or a territorial struggle one night. It was the painful cries of the one that drew my attention and suddenly they flew directly over so low I could almost touch them.
Great program, keep up the good work. Barred owls are wonderful birds.
This feels like my spirit animal.
Wow, great video!
After 100 years they are back in Northern Ohio.
This f!%#% things have ruined my backyard. Just because he has tamed one doesn't mean their all nice
Thats what i saw a few years back here in branch county mi. Just one summer. Didnt know what it was. I spent time looking online for what it might be and found this but was told by everyone there were none around here.
You know what it is? It’s the fluffy eyelids. Heavy, fluffy eyelids. The death of me.
Very cool presentation. Would have liked to see the looks on the students' faces when he brought her out of the box!
That's what "keystone" animals are all about! Important!
This is a tame fisher. The wild ones are vicious.
I LOVE that he's called Shakespeare!!! I love puns/plays on words...I keep telling my husband who's a regulas owl photog enthusiest, I want one of his favoured barred owls to be named Shakespeare! Might have that opp soon as he said one of the couples he photos appears to be nesting, so maybe there will be some owelets to be named.I'll be happy if one of them also takes that name :-)
i was about to ask if they were kin to wolverines.. then you mentiomed it
Diversity is very important in nature, this story about porcupines and fishers are just one example of it.
Have the pleasure of seeing a big male frequently on the trail cam in the woods behind my house. Always so fascinating to watch. Incredibly agile and intelligent. The local grey foxes always clear out whenever he shows up.
They're making a comeback in Ohio. Keep your pets inside
What a beautiful, amazing animal. She is very impressive
Hey, just found this video while searching for information about the barred owl in the woods behind my house. I just wanted to say how impressed I was by the presenter in this video. No fluff (pardon the pun), just lots of good information presented clearly and concisely. Also, Shakespeare is absolutely gorgeous.
Ya ok well I've got one killing my chickens so how do I kill it?
Interesting.
I am curious as to how they got a fisher as an educational animal. Was she raised in captivity, or was she in the wild and something happened to her mother? How amazing for the kids to get an upclose look at a real fisher!
We love to visit this boardwalk
Just now starting to see Fisher cats here in South Jersey. Freaked a couple of deer hunters out cause they never seen one before and had no idea what it was (including me haha)
Thank you for recording and posting this valuable educational video.
Everyone talks about the honey badger not giving a 😂 I still want to see video of a mongoose taking on an American Rattlesnake
