Barred owl, more commonly known as the hoot owl, is a common sound in old forests and swamps. It's distinctive hooting call of 8-9 notes is described as "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?" Now if it's mating season, you're going to hear hoots, caws, cackles and gurgles!
They don't migrate. Most stay within six miles of where they were born but they have slowly been spreading into the Pacific Northwest and southward into California. The barred owl has a wingspan a little over 3 feet and weighs anywhere from 16.6 to 37 oz.
Fossils of Barred Owls, at least 11,000 years old, have been dug up in Florida, Tennessee, and Ontario.

Please use the custom order option and include your address, then I can make a listing for you and charge correct shipping instead of taking wild guesses....that's about as much fun as trying to pick up a glass marble with a pair of chopsticks.

Additional
Image sizes include a small border to allow room for mat and framing without image loss and there is a digital signature. I've kept the signature as discreet as possible. Any watermarks you see will not be on your print, just my digital signature...not the big 'ole watermark slapped on the image. That is strictly to help prevent images from being 'lifted' without permission.
Not all of my artwork will fit a standard sized frame. I'm sorry, I know it's convenient when it will but sometimes the composition aesthetics don't fit standard frames.
Many images can be offered in sizes not listed or cropped to a different size... if it will work and still look good, I'll be happy to recrop!
Please note that different monitors show colors differently. My monitor is calibrated with the printers but yours might not be. The colors you see on your screen may vary slightly in hue or tone, also may be brighter or darker depending on your settings.
