I sometimes hear them when I'm out walking the dog in the morning, but I rarely actually see one. :(

Yup, Barred Owls.
That's what I thought the ones I've seen/heard are, and lots of other people nearby are reporting them too.
Wow apparently there are 6 species of owl near my city
You lucky duck!
Congrats on your owl approved city!
Maybe I gotta get out and spot them sometime
Just attract massive amounts of rodents to your home, and they'll come to you! 🤣
Or I suppose you could go to them too... 😉
Hmm, I don't think that's the best idea I've heard
The only one in my neighborhood is from 5 years ago, but it's an adorably angry Screech!
eBird has some good maps if you want to see what is in your area too.
This website pulls from eBird is my guess. There's an entry from my brother from when he visited last year, and he's big into eBird.
Nobody in my neighborhood, or the adjacent neighborhoods, has posted any owls online. But looking at the map of where people post, there are dots kind of near me so it seems I should definitely be able to find some owls!
They're just about everywhere, they're just champs at hide and seek!
