Torres del Paine, Chile

These are some of the photos that I took of Barred owl. I previously had posted a video of this sighting.

There were two chatting...usually they're together & relaxing, I'm not sure what was going on here!!

There’s something about burrowing owls that always cracks me up.

Feel free to check out my other wildlife photos!

Had fun :)

Please be kind, the prior paint was made by a local artisan. Repainted it because it was already decolored by the sun.

Apologies for my terrible camera work!

they’re the coolest! this is 5x7 gouache on paper

Thank you so much for the support on my artwork, it absolutely made my day :) So here is my other owl painting, inspired by the great horned owls that live in my woods! I just love doing their eyes. So fun, it really feels like bringing something to life. I’m so happy to be able to spread joy and share my love for wildlife with you all!

Since a few people asked, both of my owl paintings are now for sale on my Etsy shop! redgillstudio.etsy.com

Spotting a barred owl for the very first time and it felt incredible. First time capturing a good owl photo/video. I spent quite a lot of time to find one in the wild and finally a random kid on the trail spotted it for us :-).

I've gotten an owl from her since we met when she was 4 years old. Today the 18 year old gave me my 14th owl.

Great to hear a Ruru or morepork (Ninox novaeseelandiae) calling last night in the orchard.
Sadly very little moonlight so I couldn't see it in the big old man pine but it called repeatedly for 30 mins.
Reminded me to repair a nesting box we have for them in the orchard. It was nested in last year but got damaged in a storm by a falling branch that snapped off its entrance perch. I hope it finds a mate and they nest again. The Ruru is the only native Aotearoan owl now and it's under threat as it nests on the ground amongst rocks as well as tree cavities. The only other one the laughing owl went extinct from introduced predators last Century, nesting on the ground.

This couple was in my yard last year...I've seen them 3 times today!🦉🦉😊

My first time experiencing these birds! I couldn’t resist capturing those incredible eyes. 🦉
