Went to a small sanctuary. Saw three types of owls. See photos below as my first humble contribution to this community. It was nice to see cool owls. Shitty photos though, sorry. But they were cool. The ~~burrowing~~barking owl was just the cutest little thing.

Hah, I always feel so silly taking pictures of signs, but that's why I do it!

I'm not great on Aussie Owl IDs, but my guesses would be the darker one as a Tasmanian Masked, and the light one as an Australian Masked or a common Barn Owl.

That Barking Owl jumped out right away though.

I really want to see these Australian and NZ owls in person, and I always feel I should post more of them.
