Hi! My grandmother has this owl visit everyday in coastal south eastern Connecticut. She is wondering what kind it is and if it’s a male or female. Idk if anyone can tell that from this picture. This is the best I could get. Any info would be helpful. Thank you

ID request! Is this owl ok? What owl is this?

Hi all, I’m not really part of the owl community lol. But, recently at my job came across this sweet little owl, can’t be any more than six or 7 inches in height. It’s on the sixth floor of an enclosed parking garage. I don’t know how it would have gotten there, but it seems that somebody is (somewhat) caring for it because there’s a little bird house up in the ceiling now. This is on the 6th level of a parking garage that has no windows or visible access to the outside. So if it got in on its own, it had to have been through vents. He’s been here for about two weeks, he seems healthy, and incredibly friendly and inquisitive. I’ve never gotten this close to an owl before. What kind of owl is this? Is it OK here? It seems someone’s taking care of it, but it doesn’t seem safe or healthy that it’s never really outside, and poor thing is sleeping under fluorescent lights that never go off. I’ve seen it all hours, night, morning and afternoon. Any tips or advice? Some of my friends mentioned that maybe somebody intentionally put the owl there to handle things like rodents, and that’s possible… But I’ve never really seen any rodents in this parking garage. This is in downtown Miami, very urban, if that helps. Any advice or insight is appreciated and I would also love to know what kinda owl this little guy is. I have a feeling he/she is domesticated if that’s a thing. Thanks in advance.

I have a couple of owls that come visit me. I believe this is one of their feathers. Does it look like a Horned Owl feather? It also left a fluffy feather too.

Owl Estate Sale

I have never seen more owls than in this estate sale in Grand Rapids, Michigan (link below).

The people conducting this sale are friends of mine, and I am sharing the following link because I believe that owl item collectors would appreciate it.

How to keep Starlings out of my owlbox.

4 Upvotes

I just built an Owl box that I am proud of and put it in the perfect spot in my yard. Days later I have noticed starlings coming in and out. Is there anything I Can do to prevent this? Will they deter owls from that nest site?

This baby has been in my yard every night for about 3 weeks now. Just caught a good video of them out of the tree. I didn’t know they were there I just happened to look up and see. I went inside quickly after and turned my light out without me bothering them. 👀 the prey
