Took these as I was leaving this morning. Sounded like something wanted to eat me as I walked out the door.
Are those birds or owls?
I took this a few days ago. Went outside around sunset and heard screeching. Looked up and saw this owl on top of my neighbors house. It was talking to another owl that was on my hillside (that pic didn't come out well). Glad to see them around. There were bats flying around a tree for my other neighbor. They haven't been around the last few days. So not sure if the owls scared them off or ate a few of them.
Pretty sure I heard the same owl this morning when I was getting up.
Still not the best pic with max zoom on my cell phone.
Are owls not birds?
Apparently so. It's getting late in the day to learn something new, but here we are!
Two owls. Bared owls is what I’ve been told.
They fly at night. Are they bats?

Looks like I missed the rocket launch by 30 minutes or so.

Yes, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 28 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 7:04 p.m. PDT. The launch is part of SpaceX's ongoing Starlink constellation deployment for space-based internet service. You can watch live coverage on various platforms, and the launch may be visible over Southern California skies.

Pretty sure I do have bats in my area assuming the owls didn't scare them off or eat them all. I was definitely happy to see the owls.
I was running one dark, early morning a few years ago. Out of nowhere I got hit in the head, hard enough that I thought a tree limb fell on me. Nope, I got attacked by a barred owl. That bastard was mean and wanted a fight as a ran off. The next morning I carried pepper spray in case he came back for round 2. He did want another fight, and that was the most anxious time I ever used pepper spray.
Probably breeding season, or you got too close to his girlfriend or babies.
