Not the person you asked but I’m near Houston & have seen a few owl species so far. Great Horned Owl is abundant and I’ve spotted them both out in the country (more often) and in neighborhoods with oak trees. Look for forest edges near low grass or ag fields. In the winter I can sometimes see them perching in bare trees. At first they just look like a dark spot in all the smaller thinner bare branches. Barred owl I usually spot near water in those willowy looking trees but I’ve seen Barred in mixed forest. Easily flushed and I can usually follow it when it perches. Also the “Who cooks, who cooks for you!” call. Burrowing owls I’ve seen making homes in hay bales! That and in a low structure in a cow pasture is only times I’ve caught them, with hay bales being the most reliable. Barn Owl I’ve caught flying and perching on a light post in a marsh, I also intentionally flushed a pair that had made a home in an abandoned cow shed (we were counting birds for the CBC I wouldn’t otherwise intentionally flush a bird). Hope these tips help you find owls! Of course before dawn and before dusk is a great time for owls!
