How did you get your name?

Barn Owls in a barn!

My first time seeing what I assume is the reason they have their name.

 

Fledgling has perfected it's stare!

Also notice it's making a fist.

This red-shouldered hawk that flew over to warn me off also made a fist at me.

The red-shouldered hawk that attacked me a bunch of times would also land on a branch near me and make a fist which it seemed to be shaking at me.

Do birds make angry fists to shake at who ever they are made at while they stare them down? It sure does feel like they do but maybe it's some other behavior?

 

Learning to stare me down!

I think this is dad teaching a fledgling to give me the stare. So cute!

This is the 1st or 2nd day of fledging for this little one. Its sibling is still in the nest.
