Hallo Erich, Vielen Dank für Ihre sehr netten und ermutigenden Worte. Ich freue mich wirklich über Ihren Kommentar. Ich liebe es, Wildtiervideos zu machen, und wie Sie bereits betont haben, versuche ich, aus jedem Video eine vollständige Geschichte zu machen. Ich wurde übrigens in Rheinbach, Deutschland, geboren und wir zogen hierher nach Kanada, als ich 4 Jahre alt war. Allerdings kann ich Deutschland immer noch sprechen und verstehen, wenn auch mit Schwierigkeiten. Danke noch einmal, Rudy

@@Rudy.Pohl.Ottawa Danke für Deine Antwort und ich freue mich auf alle weiteren Videos von Dir, es ist wunderschön, Deine Videos zu sehen & zu hören ✅ Herzliche Grüße, aus Österreich 🙋

Thanks very much, Stephen.

Thanks very much Gijs, always good to hear from you! Best regards, Rudy

@@Rudy.Pohl.Ottawa A funny coincidence happened. My brother and I were taking our daily walk at dusk today and flock of eastern screech-owls were in my yard and I got videos of them. I'll post it soon lol.

Very cool, can't wait to see them... a flock of them, wow!

Thanks!

Hi Phil, thanks for visiting and yes seeing these Barred Owls is such a joy. Have a great day, Rudy

Thanks very much Saavik, and you're very welcome. 😉 Have a great day! Rudy

Hi Christian, it's so wonderful that you got your first photos and videos of an owl. They are so exciting to see and spend time with. 🙂 Good luck with future Owl encounters, Rudy

@@Rudy.Pohl.Ottawa Thank you!

Barn Owls are also pretty cool. They are no longer found in my area of Canada.

@@Rudy.Pohl.Ottawa A couple of weeks back my partner and I had a Falconry experience and one of the beautiful birds we were graced with flying was Kevin the Barn owl… He was a babe! I’ll try to upload some footage on my YT x

Thanks very much for visiting. Cheers, Rudy

@@Rudy.Pohl.Ottawa You are most welcome. 😊

Thanks for visiting. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Joseph, Finding Snowy Owls this year is tough because Eastern North America is having its worst Snowy Owl winter in about 20 years. There is one young female in rural south-west Ottawa just south of Kanata in the large field at the corner of Brownlee Road and Eagleson Road. She is often perched in cluster of high bare trees on the south side of Brownlee. Go to the corner of Brownlee and Eagleson and turn right onto Brownlee. Drive west for about 500 meters. Stop and look south 380 meters along that fence line and there are the trees. he is often there. There is a worn path along the left side of the fence line where we all walk, so far with the approval of the owner, but DO NOT walk on the right side (east side) of the fence line. We are not permitted on that land. Here is a photo I got of her a few days ago at around 4:00 pm. www.flickr.com/photos/rmp2020/53498727018/in/dateposted/ Good luck, Rudy

@@Rudy.Pohl.Ottawa Rudy, Thank you so very much for sharing the information. I live in Kanata North and I have seen Snowy around ten year ago, but not anymore since the forest was levelled for land development. I shall try my luck with your feedback.

I think you might be correct in this assessment. He certainly does not in any way seem to be fearful, threatened or aggressive. I have had other encounters with him where he has shown the same, calm relaxed behaviour.
