Love this video. Just yesterday I had a screech owl at my bird bath...I was shocked because I got so close to him and he just sat there staring at me and then wen about bathing. We have built nesting boxes and had an owlet fledge last year! Love this!
Beautiful wee creatures. Do I see ear tufts there, or are they all completely round-headed, and what size are they? The look a bit like either saw-whet owls or pygmy owls, but then I'm from up on Vancouver Island so ........
Wow... you are so very very lucky! AWESOME video too. I was so sure they'd fly away when they heard the dog's barking, but it didn't seem to disturb them at all. And what is even more amazing is that owls are very much nocturnal so seeing them in an urban setting in a group.... with urban sounds all around (dogs, children, traffic, a sprinkler going)..... truly a treat for us all.
One adult and 4 juveniles? These are screech owls, right? Thank you for sharing this rare sight.
@Racquellebk22 They bathed every night for about 6 weeks then they didn't come back. One would fly by for a few days, then he stopped coming back also.
@vulturedoors, you are 100% correct that these wonderful creatures are borrowing owls! sexy isn't it. I don't know whoch are the 3 ass holes who dis liked this video. thanks for sharing!
I'm from the dallas fort worth area and live in the suburbs so i have no idea why these owls would be chilling here. They also came back over the summer to chill so i guess they're year long friends ^_^
@Rainbowseverywhere Burrowing owls are native - DFW's about the eastern edge of their territory. When I lived in Greenville I'd see them hanging out on the highway median once in a while :)
You are so lucky to be able to view them like this. I'm from South Africa and I haven't seen one in the wild like this. They're not so common where I live or maybe they are but I certainly haven't seen them. It's the little things like these that make the human spirit happy. Thanks for sharing.
Fun video. Gives an idea of the night sounds in your neighborhood. Hmm, did that little barking dog sound a bit Scared? Better stay inside at night lil pooch.
I like how at about @1:30 they're all *super alert*, but all looking the same direction. *Nothing* is sneaking up on them! Unless, of course, it comes up from behind.
@JimmyJoeLard - You may be right. The first four owls have much longer legs than the fifth, which would indicate burrowing owl to me. Also note the threat (beak clacking) at 0:45. But now that I look at it again I'm not so sure, I see a hint of a horn and I think you're correct. Anyone else have a more positive ID?
They look like burrowing owls. That is amazing!
