Eric Zetterholm photographed this Barn Owl recently, spotted on The Sea Ranch perched on a fence post.

Here is a close-up of two Barn Owls, taken by Jim Garlock.

Barn Owls are nocturnal - predators of the night. When they fly overhead, they look ghostly white. They don't "hoot" like some owls; their calls are a raspy scream. You can listen to it here: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Barn_Owl/sounds

Thanks to Eric and Jim for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
