I've watched a barred owl go for starlings this year; unfortunately it missed!

Barred Owls that hang around feeders probably aren't interested in
the little birds, but in the mice and voles which are attracted to
the seeds that spill from the feeders. If the snow is not too deep,
owls can hear the critters and perhaps see the ridges of their
tunnels as they burrow.
