Barred owl roosting in my back yard
I was working from home last Friday when I heard a huge commotion by crows and blue jays, so I knew something was up. They were focused on one area way up in our white pines and I was able to find this barred owl, which stayed there all day!

Oh how pretty. Some people would not have the wisdom or gumption to go forth and see what was up.
Lucky you to still have that inquisitiveness in you!

 I hear great horned owls often this time of year, so I was half expecting so see that instead of a barred owl. |

If you listen, they can be found. Awesome shot and good observation skill set to know that something was up. I always know when a hawk or owl enter our yard because all the songbirds go nuts and then it gets really quiet...

Awesome! I always pay attention when the jays and crows get agitated. I know they will harass owls. When it happens in my backyard, though, it's the feral cat that gets them going. How cool that you had a barred owl!
