If I had to like only one video on TH-cam this would be it. This needs a million views,
This is fantastic! I started the documentary skeptical and thinking owls were ugly but I finished it tearing up and in awe of the owls beauty. Amazing camera work and dedication. This needs to be submitted for an award or something
Wow! Thank you very much! It was my first attempt at doing anything like this. I'm happy to hear so many people like you have enjoyed it. I'm even more grateful that you took an hour of your time to watch! If you get a chance to hit the subscribe button (sorry if you did already) that will help me grow the channel so I can do more videos! Thank you again!
I absolutely loved this!! Many years ago I rescued 3 baby great horned owls that fell out of their nest. All 3 grew up on reserves. This was beautifully done. It brought tears to my eyes to see the amazingly beautiful still shots you took. Outstanding ♥
That is so amazing! Thank you for saving them! I really appreciate you watching the video. It means a lot to me! Can I ask how you heard about it? I apologize if you already did this, but if you have a chance to go back and click the subscribe it will really help me grow the channel and you’ll be alerted about more videos. Thanks for doing that! ❤
Wonderful job Joe...absolutely loved this and enjoyed it...keep up the great work!
@@drewdebowsky9156 thank you so much for watching!
We totally loved this, Joe!! Everyone's comments say it all, worth watching every minute. We cheered when you finally caught all 4 and in such an iconic photo! Thanks for bringing this to all of us who love our birds!
@@cechlin thank you so much for watching! I’m so happy to read that you enjoyed the documentary!! I’m hoping to grow this channel and do more videos like this so if you get a chance to go back to the video and click the subscribe button, it will really help me grow the channel and you will be alerted when I release other videos! Thank you again!
I used to work at MES and just learned about The Barred Owl documentary. I enjoyed the video very much and appreciated learning about your other talents. The the summer before I moved from East Hampton a Barred Owl family came to visit my home. Every evening around 6 three owls would hunt our field. I assumed it was two parents and a young owl. Once while taking a picture of one of the owls it flew and landed about 3 feet from me and we just checked each other out. I had never been that close to a wild owl before. Another evening I was watering the garden and an owl landed by me, not at all disturbed by the water spray. I learned later that owls like people. I considered the visits as the wildlife saying good-bye before my move to Maryland where I no longer live in the woods. So, thank you for your hard work because it brought back a wonderful memory.
@@barbarapomfret1202 I remember! And it’s so good to hear from you, Barbara! That’s so awesome that you’ve had some experiences with them and yes, the young owlets can be very curious. a few times while filming they flew right up to me! But mom can be very protective so I had to be careful. Thank you for watching and I hope you’re doing well! One more favor if you have a chance can you go back to the video and just click on the subscribe button. that will help me grow the channel so I could do more videos like this. I appreciate it! The subscribe button should be to the right of my name under the video!
I love owls, I love New England, we have a barred pair in our woods, and this was just beautiful. thank you for sharing your gift.
Thank you to Joe and everyone who contributed to this beautiful story. I love owls, especially Barred and Saw-whet. Your love and devotion to telling the story of this amazing owl family was wonderful.

Gave me goosebumps. This spring/summer of 2024 I too watched daily from a window in front of my desk the daytime comings and goings of two Barred Owls forging food to bring to the nest. All day listening to their calls and then the sounds of the fledglings. Your documentary brought up close what I was witnessing from a distance and just increased the joy these creatures bring. Beautiful work; thank you so very much for your effort, time and skill to create and share this story
@@vivianscanlon8666 Thank you so much !! I’m so glad you liked it. That’s so cool that you got to watch the owls. There’s nothing like it! Are you in Connecticut?

I very much enjoyed your documentary. I'm impressed at your ability to locate them, as I have been looking for owls for years with no luck. Also, I loved the story-telling approach to this project...it really draws you in and makes you vested in the outcome. Well done!!
@@TheArtfulAddict I really appreciate your positive feedback. All the work is worth it after reading your kind words! I just subscribed to you… if you have a second to subscribe back to me, I would appreciate it to help grow the channel! If you did already, thank you! Thanks for watching 😀
@@joegophotos1 Done!
@TheArtfulAddict you’re the best !
This is phenomenally well done, Joe - from beginning to end, I was captivated. I 'm sure I appreciated it even more, having had a very similar experience following a barred owl family with my adult son for the last two months. We both share a passion for wildlife photography, and were fortunate to become aware of a nest relatively close by. While we didn't cover one hundred straight days, we must have done at least fifty. It is such a privilege to be able to wait anxiously for the eggs to hatch and then count down the days until we can finally spot the first owlet. We witness the branching, the real or feared falls, the closeness of the siblings, their increasing independence, slowly but surely, and perhaps most important of all, the incredible loving care and dedication of the parents as they truly give their offspring roots and wings. You told your story so artfully. Thank you.
@@haleeburg8760 thank you so much for not only watching, but also leaving such a thoughtful comment! I’m so happy to read that you liked it! That is so cool that you had a similar experience. We are so lucky to see that aren’t we?

It was an amazing film thanks for your hard work. Did the fledging parents survive as well?
@@angenella5563 thank you for watching! I have not seen the male since the Bluejay scene and I haven’t seen Mom in two weeks .. I’m sure they are around.

If you already did it thank you so much!
I’ll be doing a podcast this summer answering everybody’s questions that they have about the documentary!
Amazing footage Joe! I really enjoyed watch your documentary! I manage myself to find a Barred Owl nest this year too! I was able to follow 3 owlet since last weak but now they are gone... They are completly independed and have now moove really far away from the nest site. I still manage to find mom from time to time hunting for herselef but no trace of the owlets. Last time then I saw time they where two together unfurtunatly I think than the little last one didint make it beacause when mom stop feeding them the last one was still not abke to hunt by is hunt. After so much time spend with them this is like the end of a story, they are like my family now and Im so glad Ive been able to spend all this time with them! I hope you than your owlets would all stay safe in the rough wildlife! Thank you for letting me fell nostalgic with your vidéo! Have a nice one!
Thank you so much for watching! It is sad when they finally go away. I haven't seen mine since July 10! Appreciate you watching!
Amazing dedication to this project, Joe! I really enjoyed it. Very well done.

What a beautiful ending to your hard work! I gasped when you panned out to show all four together (finally!), and it was especially touching that it was so close to the nest they were raised in. What a wonderful pair of parents to successfully raise four owlets. Hopefully they return next year to raise another brood! Thank you for sharing all this beautiful footage, it was such a privilege to watch, and I can only imagine how you felt seeing them all safe on the 100th day.
And I've subscribed and hope to see more work from you in the future. It was very inspiring to watch!
@@rosebudkeely8153 Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking an hour of your time to watch this !!! Can I ask where you’re watching from? Did you search for an owl video or did youtube recommend it?
Thank you for subscribing and I hope to do more videos soon! I will be going to Maine next week so I’ll probably do a little vlogging of those adventures looking for seals and puffin penguins 😄
@@joegophotos1 I am watching from Australia! I love to watch owl live streams, and I was recommended this under one of them. I didn't know much about barred owls before watching it though, but now I really appreciate them. They are gorgeous owls :)
Good luck on your adventure next week, it sounds wonderful! I hope you spot some new species.
Had me mesmerized from the getgo... brilliant

What an outstanding documentary! I was a student of yours many years ago at MES and years later, a graduate of your drone camp. Knowing your ambitions and seeing some of your photos before, I was excited to see what was in store when this documentary was referred to me. I’ve always been fascinated by owls and now even more so! I hear them often on hikes and bike rides, but as you said, I rarely see them. This was such a treat, amazing work!
@@austinondas8896 Hi Austin! Of course I remember you! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video. Even with all the wildlife photography that I’ve done I hardly ever have luck with owls. I just got really lucky this time! I hope you’re doing well.

@@ktslaw Thank you so much! Thank you for dropping a comment. I’m glad you liked it!
Impressed to say the least! Viewing from Middletown, my wife and I (and shared with other family members) loved this. I’ve always known you as a top-notch photographer, but to see this video footage, narration, edits, music, is the all-in-one real deal that I will watch again and again. Thanks, Joe, for sharing this and your talent!
You're the man! Thank you for watching, taking time out of your day to do so and sharing! I appreciate the kind words and I'm happy you enjoyed it! If you subscribed, thank you ! If not and have a second , please do - it will help grow the channel for more videos! Can wait to see what birds you find this summer!
So glad I saw the article about your documentary in CT Post. Just finished watching with my family. Really great footage! It was entertaining and dramatic. I walk through the woods in CT every day with my dogs and have only been lucky enough to see barred owls in daylight twice. I hope this goes viral and gets millions of views!
Thank you so much for watching William! I'm so happy to read that you enjoyed it! Owls are so hard to spot. We have probably walked under or by so many and didn't know it! Are you sure the article was in the CT POST? I only saw it in the Middletown Press and New Haven Register. I hope it gets millions of views too hahaha. I apologize if you did already, but can you click on my name or go back to the video and click the "subscribe" button! Free and no sign ups. It just helps my channel grow. The more subscribers I get the more viral it goes! Thank you!

@@MHarenArt thank you ! I’m hoping they use the same nest next year !
This is outstanding!! Very well done, Joe!!

Amazing documentary. Saw you on Sunday morning CT. I learned so much & was in the edge of my seat many times. A wonderful journey and found my self very emotional after the hail storm only to find such relief and joy! I’ve shared this with many - do you have an IG? If not you should - CPTV should air this! Bravo, so well done.
@@DollyOhDolly thank you so much ! Your kind words mean a lot and I’m so happy to hear you saw the interview! I do have IG !! @joegophotos (same picture icon) I should see if CPTV would do it . I’m not sure if they do that?

I will rewatch this forever! I've had a pair nest here in Voluntown for years. In July, the young sit along my pasture hiss-calling for weeks, practicing hunting skills. This year's clutch of 3 is still here, but more quiet. They are finally feeding themselves. Your film was a joy to watch.
@@ThePatchworkfarm wow that is amazing! We are very lucky to be able to see that! Do you get them every year?

Wow, I am so impressed with this one on many levels. The amount of time in the field, culling footage and photos, and editing this project is immense. This is what wildlife photography is all about, going deep and making a connection. Great dedication. I have got to observe a barred owl nest as well, and then I realized recently I must have had one in my back woods as I started hearing that hissing about a month ago. Sure enough I have at least two owlets. You got some great sequences, like the owl falling out. Glad the feathers weren't one of you owlets! How perfect, to get all 4 together on your last day, day 100. I enjoyed the photos at the end too. Well done! I will watch this again with my daughters.
John, I can't thank you enough for watching and taking the time to write such an amazing comment. This was the first time I did anything like this so I had no idea where to start, but eventually the pieces started coming together. I'm glad you reached out so I could find your channel. I'm excited to see your stories and episodes. I'm definitely going to check them out and learn from you. I see you are in New England too! I'm going to Maine July 21-25....not sure what I'm going to find, maybe some seals, the classic Portland Lighthouse (I have yet to see) and hopefully some wildlife surprises. I'm doing one of the puffin cruises too. If you have any suggestions around the Portalnd, Kennebunkport area that you know, let me know. Thanks again and keep up the great work! PS = Hope your daughters find it entertaining as well!
Very good video and well done. Young owls are surprisingly good climbers, using wings, claws and beaks.
Thank you so so much for watching you can continue to monitor how the owls are doing here if interested

What a wonderful film! We live in East Hampton, and had Barred Owls nesting near us last year. It was amazing to hear the "hiss" for the very first time- I had to go on the internet to identify what it was. Funny, as I type this a Blue Jay is squawking outside my window. It must know I'm talking about the owls. It was amazing what you had caught on film- and I loved how you were able to assemble the footage in a way that had a great narrative as well.
@@n1sfe thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! I’m so happy to hear you had owls too. We are definitely lucky if we can see them! Those darn blue jays ! 😄 I don’t know if you have Facebook, but I started a Facebook page for behind-the-scenes stuff, videos that never made it, photos and as I continue to find the Owl, I’ve been posting videos and updating people on them. There is also a podcast coming out with questions and answers people have about it !

You have given me the birthday gift of my dreams. Today I watched, with amazement and awe, the life of our mysterious neighbors, the beautiful CT barred owl. Thank you for the hours of dedication that you invested in this project. The artistry of the film is superb. THIS viewer has been educated & my knowledge of owls enriched.

Owls are one of those mysterious birds to me because I actually know very little about them. but your video has provided me with a lot of knowledge and information about this bird. that's really great. Your contributions in gathering information and recording this video were truly invaluable. I appreciate that!
@@BlissfulEchoNatureSounds i’m glad you found it so informative! Am I reading it right that you’re from Australia?. You would be my first international viewer! If so, how did you find the video?. Thank you so much for watching!

By chance, I saw your video on TH-cam about owls. I thought, why not? I didn't know much about this bird, so I eagerly clicked to watch. Your video was very meaningful and practical.
@@joegophotos1 Sounds interesting, I'll visit after work. Have a good day
@@BlissfulEchoNatureSounds well, that’s great if it just showed up ! It’s making it rounds 😃
We totally enjoyed this excellent documentary, thank you. Beautiful barred owl family. We were so focused on your skilled camera work and story telling talent, it felt as if mom and dad's eyes were watching us. Loved seeing the fledglings triangulate, so cute. To be able to follow their milestones up close and personal would be incredible.

@@joegophotos1 Our family has been following bald eagles for almost ten years. Barred owls love to knock eagle adults and juvies off their perches, both are beautiful raptors! 😊 We always enjoy hearing their "who cooks for you" call. 🎶 Thanks so much for your nice reply and heads up on your Facebook page. We'll definitely keep a barred owl eye out for your next documentary. "Liked" & "Subscribed" 👍
Awesome! We really enjoyed it!!

Excellent documentary with awesome photography. I watched it from home in Tolland, CT. Also, I volunteer at Horizon Wings Raptor Rehabilitation & Education Center in Ashford, CT. I love showing and talking about our unreleasable Barred Owl at various educational programs.
Thank you! The rehabbers are so great. You help so many helpless birds! Appreciate all the work you do. Thanks again for watching!

Extraordinary effort and perfection in post processing. You must be exhausted, and very happy you’ve finished. I’ve spent countless hours in our CT woods and posting on Facebook. This is the best I’ve seen. Congratulations on a job well done. I have several audio files of adults talking during mating season if you’d like them. Again extraordinary!

Great job Joe!
