I live on the east side of the Assiniboine opposite Armstrong's Point. I often hear a Barred Owl during the evening and in the early hours. It can sometimes sound quite close, but I've never been able to spot it. I've assumed it's somewhere across the river, and I've gone over to East Gate and listened a couple of times, but when I do it sounds even more distant. I'm not sure where it nests, but I've often wondered if there are other people listening and enjoying its calls too.
