Barred owls are territorial and non-migratory. Their territory spans 213-903 acres. There are 640 acres in a square mile so a bared owl's territory can be anywhere from 1/3 to 1 1/2 square miles. Barred owls form permanent pair bonds. Courtship begins in winter near the eventual nesting site. Barred owls are non-migratory and territorial so it is likely they can be found nesting in the same tree if it has proved suitable in the past.Barred owls like to get a jump on other species by nesting early. They lay 2 to 4 eggs in February or March. The eggs are brooded by the female and hatch about 4 weeks later. Barred owls leave the nest or "fledge" four to five weeks after they hatch. As they are unable to fly at this point, this stage is often called "branching." The owls move out onto nearby branches.

Animals can see better than we think, they can see at night. they probably hear the cats scratching on the window too

[steiff1001]

@lovsoup yes, they see well at night - when it's night! it wasn't night time outside. based on deductive reasoning, it's fair to assume that he couldn't see us when the lights were off inside - scratching on the window, yes, of course he did - he looked at the window when charlie did it. but the fact that he got puffy when the lights were on is a good indication that he couldn't see us when the lights were off as he wasn't bothered when the lights were off. again, thanks for the concern.

CUTE but Poor Owl, when I lived in Colorado these window wells were common. They sell window well covers / for security and for wildlife. maybe you can look into that. you don't wan to risk a bigger wildlife attacking him being sitting duck (coyotes etc...)

[steiff1001]

@lovsoup thanks for your concern. we're good though! no coyotes here and they always get out - it's been going on for 4 years in a row.

SO BEAUTIFUL! The owl is gorgeous! I have 2 boys and my one does the same thing your Charlie does when he sees something like a squirrel or bird...I crack up! Then you watch this poor little cute owl for a moment there looking in the window and he's probably thinking "Like what are all of you looking at? Get me the hell outta here!" Precious!

@burnisheddragon Don't feel sorry for the owlet - it's part of the growing pains - he was not frightened by the cats - I had the lights off so he couldn't see us. Believe me after 4 years of this - I know what a frightened owlet looks like - mouth open, wings spreadout (to look bigger) - this little guy was learning a lesson of flying out of a hole. He is out and now in a tree - not back in his nest. I never would put my cats or the owl in harms way.
