Barn Owls! in Manhattan! 🦉🌃

This week, a family of Barn Owls was discovered on a water tower in NYC. Two adults and five young ones have been observed/confirmed so far!

Photos taken at night, using long exposure and ambient light - it is actually VERY dark up there!

Close up of the top of a wooden water tower at night, with part of a brick and stone building and out of focus light green foliage in the foreground at the right of frame. On the very top of the water tower, a Barn Owl is perched. Another Barn owl is just below/ to the right, and a third one at the bottom of the slope of the tower’s roof, to the far right. A closer look reveals two more Barn Owls peering through a hole in the roof, facing the cameraClose up of the same water tower; three Barn Owls are visible on and near the very top of the towerCloser crop of the top of the water tower in the previous photos - one Barn owl is in profile on the top of the tower, another is just below and to the right, also in side profile. Part of the face of a third owl can be seen in the hole in the roofCloser crop of the top of the water tower - one Barn Owl is perched on the front/left slope, blending in very well with the rust-brown of the roof. Two other owls are peering out of the hole; one owl still has downy baby feathers at the top of their head
