For the last two weeks I have been on a quest to photograph an owl here at Dallas Retirement Village. It started with a late-night text from a neighbor. I missed it, but luckily Jeanette heard it and woke me up to explain that the neighbor had just seen a large white owl at her balcony. We rushed down to have a look, and did get a quick glimpse of what we believed were two Barn Owls. Since 2024, they have been known as American Barn Owls. After finding pellets we suspected that we had owls but had assumed Great Horned Owls. We were disappointed that no one was hearing the hoot of the Great Horned Owl. Once we realized that we had Barn Owls, which have a sound more like a clicking or screaming, things fell into place, and early this morning I was finally able to get some photos.
