At 1 am ,I was searching voice that would scare the mouse in my room. I played a lot of cat voices but those didnt work. And i found this vid and played. That mouse really came out from where it was hiding and got out from my room. And i dont dare to stop playing this coz i am afraid that mouse would come back.
These type of owls have been hanging out in our neighborhood. I heard like 5 of them last night , each having their own sounds. I love to listen to them.
Barred Owls have a territory and will only find 2 within that area. The two are a couple and are thought to pair for life, you likely heard the male and female hooting and/or caterwauling. Often sounds like a group and not only 2.
These owls are a rabbit's worst nightmare as well. We have one of these owls living in our back yard and we keep finding rabbit body parts in the yard in the morning. Our yard is fenced. It's the owl. Even saw him go after one of the rabbits once but missed. I believe the owl is strong enough to kill a rabbit but not strong enough to fly away with it. That's why we keep finding body parts. I think the owl is killing the rabbit on the ground and then tearing them up and flying away with the favorite parts.
It stayed long enough for me to put my Fuji 10 megapixel still camera on a tripod. The video function of the camera only has auto focus which can be distracting & awful in the audio track. Not to worry about peoples pets, as this was a very large rat that couldn't run fast enough. The tree is located off Muir Rd. on Mission Hill, North Courtenay. Thanks for the response.
You know it’s a big meal if it’s eating this way. They almost always swallow their meals whole, and it always amazes me how big a rat/mouse they can swallow.
Fyi that crow was not just hanging out. Barred owls and crows are mortal enemies. The barred owl will sometimes hijack a crows nest, eat the babies, then use the nest to lay/hatch their eggs/fledglings. A murder (group) of crows will repeatedly attack (called: mobbing) barred owls
I might have guessed that you were from the Courtenay area. I live over by MacDonald Rd, and have walked the hill for many years. It is only in the last six or so years, that I have heard as many as 4 families calling out to each other. I do a lousy impression of a barred owl, but it is good enough to get them going. I actually saw a family sitting on the power lines one night, and they didn't seem to care that I was within 30 ft of them, lighting them up with a flashlight. What an experience! Bob
good camera work. Who cooks for you? says Bard owl. Formidable bird of prey. Silent flight. There was a bounty on Bard owl here in Oregon on some FS ground. Bards were eating Spotted Owl that are on endangered list. Not sure if there is current bounty. Some birder said the Sparred Owl is already happening. They"ll probable be pockets of Spotting Owls, most likely where enough food is where the Bard does not feed on Spotted Owl. Have pair of Bards hanging out at my place on rat patrol.
We have at least one of these owls living in the tall oaks in our back yard (each resident has 2 to 4 oaks in their yard, and our hoa is a bird sanctuary). When we first moved here years ago, and I heard this bird at night, it totally freaked me out. I though someone was in our backyard, making noise. Since then, I've seen so many birds that I never saw when I lived in NY. The funny part is this video is the crow squaking away, not letting the owl sleep. I saw this happen as well. One day, we had a hawk, an owl, and a few crows all in our backyard (I know, it sounds like a bad joke lol). The crows were squaking because of the hawk (and because they just like to chat all day anyway). They made both the hawk and the owl move from branch to branch and tree to tree. I felt so bad for the owl! All it was trying to do was sleep!
Great Video. Good steady camera work. Good clear shot. Focus is working overtime to keep the owl in the foreground. That must be a rabbit because it is too big to be a rat or a squirrel. Hope it wasn't the neighbour's cat. Where exactly is this oak tree? We were woken up last night out here Dove Creek way by a pair of these barred owls simultaneously calling. Thanks for posting.
I have seen bluejays harass perched barred owls. Here it seems as though crows are doing the same. Why is that? The owls don't seem to pay much attention.
I once watched a pair of magpies harrass a pair of wood pigeons. It's like the magpies were after the eggs in the pigeons nest and the magpies seemed to get a kick out of the game. The pigeons were tough enough to hold the magpies off and it went on for a while until a large crow came in and chased the magpies away. The crow didn't seem to bother the pigeons at all. The crow seemed to uphold the law lol like some sort of patrol keeping order. That's how I see crows now like the law men of birds.

Would you be willing to elaborate on your dislike towards crows? I love owls very much, but I also admire the Corvids for their great and proven intelligence.
When Finnish farmers have problems with enormous numbers of rats in the farm, they turn to owls for help, and with a bonus. Snakes too were also taken by owls
We need more owls. They are good at keeping rat plague in check. Domestic cats are are so lazy and too much pampered by humans. Most of them have no interest in chasing mouse and are spoilt by canned food.

Love how the Godfather Crow is waiting for a taste, but the owl doesn’t offer tribute

These creatures are truly breathtaking, awesome. Silent flight.
Looks like he's enjoying his rat meal, high in protein! 🍖
Wait till the vegetarians come along and try shame it for eating meat and convince it that it can survive on a plant only diet

No wonder the rabbits in my yard run so fast when they see anything moving xD

Crows seem to hate just about every bird of prey. In our back yard I have seen them harassing hawks and eagles as well. They are relentless.
Beautiful barred owl😘I jyst love them hey that's a flicker cool sound 💖
They're remarkably similar to the Barn Owl.
Oh man, is he enjoying that rat!
He attacked because you didn't identify your squad when he demanded "WhoWhoHaWho goes there?" Last I knew the password was "Hey buddy!"

Yes, at 2883 Muir Rd., the property's now developed. - Steve I.
I love owls and woodpeckers. God is good.
Great footage
Who cooks for you who cooks for youuu?
Beat me to it!
Very good video despite the noise other than the pesky birds. I truly enjoyed this
So single, living life on a whim
Such a majestic creature. I can't stop wondering how much sound pollution has affected it's feeding habits.
Relax, dont exaggerate
Crows calling for backup haha
I like how everytime the crow says something the owl wakes up like bruh “SHUT THE FUCK UP
You know I’m just going to finish it so you can fuck off”
Was that a Rat Brand rat? More Rat! Less Pellet!

A raven, a rat, and an owl walk into a bar. Barkeeper: " You're barred !"
That one scary ass looking bird
Is it just me or was anyone else concerned to see the owl chillin there in broad daylight...? Somethings wrong wif 'imm🥺
This is a very cool video, and the music ones are pretty cool too!
Mmmm, Mmmm, ratatouille. My favorite.
Those crows hanging around to try too get a piece of rat ?
The mice went silent all of a sudden
Great video!!!
The others birds have to be careful..
Nightly raptors are beautiful and nice but aggressive too
Raven is hanging around, wondering if the owl is gonna finish eating the rat
That looks like a squirrel
:29 the crows are asking for a piece or two of that fresh bunny rat meat.... owl is not sharing it!
I heard owls can hear rat's heart pownding hiding under the snow.
The great grey owl can their face acts like a satellite dish.
One ear lower than the other helps them tell if a sound is coming from above or below!
Buying some snow
Got food, no appetit
They are all over Ontario Canada..
Great Video. Good steady camera work. Good clear shot. Focus is working overtime to keep the owl in the foreground.
That must be a rabbit because it is too big to be a rat or a squirrel. Hope it wasn't the neighbour's cat.
Where exactly is this oak tree?
We were woken up last night out here Dove Creek way by a pair of these barred owls simultaneously calling.
Thanks for posting.
He looks like an old man eating in a rest home.
I've seen rats big as cats.
Seems to be pretty tolerant of that annoying Crow
Hey what was the gunshot for at the end
Wow... !!! My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Awesome... Full watched. Thanks Have a happy day!
Serves them rats right!
Is Courtenay close to Nanaimo and Victoria?
Owls are not good to see they represent death.
What is he barred from the neighbourhood or a night club?
Who cooks for yooouuuu
Get your rat crow it's mind
Love the red eyes at the end

as far as I was aware domestic cats had the opposite problem, where they'd hunt native birds more than invasive rats
You haven’t met my cat! He likes mice and his canned food. Awesome hunter! 😻
