Nature Note - Barred Owl

A Barred owl sighting in our yard - winter 2016
A nearby Barred owl's hoots ("Hoo-hoo-ho, hoo-hoo-ho-hooaw) ("Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?") kept me company during my morning walk. Otherwise, dawn arrived clear, cold, and frosty at twenty-six degrees.

A pair of Barred owls graciously share their woodlot with us. We often hear them at night but seldom see them. They snooze during the day and hunt small rodents at night. Last winter's sighting was a rare delight. 

Same sighting.
