Lori Hennings, biologist for Portland Metro, mentioned that Barred Owls are now nesting in one of the parks in the Portland area. I'm not sure if this is news. They sure seem to have become common in the Puget Sound lowlands. My wife brought home the remains of one she found dead on the horse trail that follows the perimeter of our suburban neighborhood north of Olympia. Seems they are becoming among the more common species of road kill.
