I received this email from Peter and Barbara Castle about their resident barn owl. They live on the Walla Walla River Road so are fortunate to have some wonderful birds in their yard. I hope you enjoy their story. Ginger
"For several years we have had a lovely barn owl occupying a walnut in front of my shop in the small pasture for most of the late Spring and Summer. "Barney" has kept us amused with sightings in his habitat and evening and early morning flights. This morning one of my chores took me under the walnut and back. I experienced an explosion of owls. "Barney" and two fledglings. Apparently "Barney" has all this time been "Barnette". I had thought it strange that there was so much whitewash under the walnut this year.
We also have in residence a pair of black headed grosbeaks that frequent the sunflower seed feeder, as well as Bullock's orioles, yellow warblers, and western tanagers."
