In early spring after American Barn Owl (Tyto furcata<\/em>) chicks have hatched there are opportunities here in Utah to see the adult owls hunting just after dawn breaks.<\/p>\n

American Barn Owls are primarily nocturnal but when they have hungry chicks to feed they will hunt later in the morning and earlier in the evening than they do when they don’t have young which gives me wonderful opportunities me to photograph them in natural light.<\/p>\n

Because we have had an earlier spring than normal the American Barn Owls here may be slightly ahead of their normal cycle so I have been keeping an eye out for them. Any day now…<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
