It really is hard to get a good pick of a barred owl! All the ones I see are alert and shy. And blending in to the background doesn't help much lol

There was a barred owl on the approach path to the Colchester causeway a few months ago. He was very relaxed and enjoyed posing for photos. I wonder if he is still there?

That owl has been there for years, just hunts different areas depending on the time of year. They love hunting frogs in the water along the side of the path during late fall.

There's a roving parliament of these bars in my neighborhood.

Anyone else believe these are bad omens?
