It's not just a matter of placing a barrier and waiting for the right moment: to achieve a properly defined wake, it is necessary use a barrier with multiple sensors, in addition to combining continuous light (which generates the trail of the movement) with synchronized flashes that freeze the owl at the exact point of the action.
