The other night (July 21) I saw a barn owl flying over my home the
Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle.

I've seen them a couple of times in Seattle over the years. I know they
breed at Marymoor Park and in other open spaces just east of Seattle, but
I'm curious if any tweeters have seen barn owls in the summer within the
city limits of Seattle. Where might they breed in the city? I've heard
rumors of them breeding in husky stadium, but I'm wondering if anyone
knows of any evidence of that, or if that is just speculation.
