Hi Tom
Yes, I've seen Masked Owls on posts, twice. Once south of Eden in southern NSW.
It was on a post as we drove by, we stopped thinking it was a boobook or
something, it's upperparts were so dark, then when we stopped & looked back, it
turned it's head revealing it as a Masked Owl. Face had that brownish cast & we
could see it's big stout legs with large talons. This was sometime in the early
eighties. A few years later I saw another bird on a post, this time in East
Gippsland. Again it was dark & quite easy to identify. So yes, it would be
quite a possibility that your bird was a Masked!-Kevin Bartram
