My family had an old granary with a pair of barn owls. They would sometimes sneak up behind me and perch on a beam, looking at me while moving their heads in circles and figure eights. I'm not sure if they were curious or amusing themselves. Later, I worked with spotted owls and the males were very eager to fly down and observe the human intruders at close range. Sometimes I could hear a slight whisper of moving air, but usually not. I love owls.

I’ll bookmark this one but it looks familiar right off. Thanks for the video

Great for hunting wabbits.

Kept it for a few years... it was almost furry on one side, to muffle the sound... truly amazing

I see owls from time to time, the only time I hear them is when they re calling out. I did have a Great horned owl mating ritual take place in the trees in my yard once. That was unusual, there was a lot of vocalizing, they all have different voices, several males were courting a female.

Birds are interesting creatures.
