A sour IPA called Mash Up the Jam depicted what we decided was a cartoonish Eurasian Tree Sparrow ( Passer montanus ) in a comical send-up of Peter and the Wolf. And with Stranger than Fiction , a porter, we got a beautifully painted Eurasian Eagle-Owl ( Bubo bubo ).

I had been hoping that the Barn Owl I’d seen here a couple of days before would appear, but it was clearly back at its roost. A Siskin by the river Mute Swans , flying over on creaking wings Breakfast at home gave me the chance to tick House Sparrow – the easiest place to find sparrows these days is in my garden.

Bird at night and those same grassy fields could host Striped and Barn Owls. Listen for the subtle notes of Tropical Screech Owl. Stripe-headed Sparrow and Other Dry Forest Birds.

Speaking of birds that have Cabanis in their name, although I have yet to detect the rare Cabanis’s Ground-Sparrow , the habitat dictates that there should be some in the neighborhood. The bird we hope most to see is the endemic Cabanis’s Ground-Sparrow although Mary wants to see a Barn Owl just as much.

Wander through my front door and glance upwards and you’ll find at least two watching you, a Tawny Owl and a Barn Owl , both sadly gathered as roadkills. Above our fireplace is a large painting of a Barn Owl.
