this fall I have seen barred owls quite a bit during the morning hours
(8-10 a.m.) this morning, i've watched one for the past hour
perched above my driveway intently watching along the wood's
edge. I am too new to bird watching to identify whether this is a
male or female or a juvenile. Is there any significance to daytime
sightings?

I'm used to seeing/hearing owl activity in the summer during twilight
hours.
