Barred Owl

Barred Owl ~ (Strix varia) A Barred Owl in the late afternoon. It is always a treat to spend a few minutes with these perspicacious creatures. I always feel like I am in the presence of intelligence, I am also sure that the owl does not feel the same way when it looks at me.

Featherweight

Barred Owlet ~ (Strix Varia) I watched as this young Barred Owl began to practice some hunting techniques. Flying to the ground and jumping on various things they could find on the forest floor. This little one found a feather and enjoyed playing with it.

A Cozy Barred Owl

Barred Owl ~ (Strix Varia) Barred Owls always look so cozy when nestled into the Spanish moss.

Walking along the trail in the late afternoon, this little Barred Owlet let me know where it was with the high pitched whine noise it makes when calling out to its parents. I peaked through the Spanish Moss to try and find it and there it was staring back at me.
