Category: owl

It’s always wonderful to see a large bird in the yard. This owl visited this morning. We observed it for awhile, and it seemed to be observing us as well. I wish it would catch some more voles that seem to be flourishing in the yard and garden. Hello owl!

I tried to take a photo with my cellphone, which usually works pretty well. But it was not up to this almost monochromatic scene with little contrast. Sam snapped this photo with his camera.

Sam spotted this barred owl hunting from a perch in a pine tree. We watched it for quite awhile as it swiveled its head back and forth inspecting the presence of mice or voles. Maybe chipmunks. We have a lot of small rodents, so wishing the owl happy hunting.
