Hi folks -

Took our new puppy (11 week-old retriever...) for a walk last night, and
heard - for the first time in my neighborhood - a pair of Barred Owls
talking to each other in the canyon just west of Division, at Farwell.

This 'canyon' is the gully/gulch where I usually pick up a pair or so of
Screech Owls during the Christmas Bird Counts. I haven't heard the
screeches for a while... and it's raining too much tonight for any owls to
call....

Does anyone know if Barred Owls will prey on Screech Owls, like a Great
Horned will?

Best,
