I saw the owl, again!

I've been seeing the barred owl frequently around the property. This is my viewing record: BARRED OWL.

Friday, Aug. 21 she was really close. So close, she flew across our view from the front window. We were watchingRaptors basketball. 
Now, a bird flying doesn't always capture our attention, there are so many birds! Owls, however, with a wingspan of about a metre, are quite startling close up.

 

I ran up to the window. Nothing I could see. Curiousity led me outside.


I toddled out, looking all around, and totally missed her. The goldfish were doing fine, however. We've lot one...

I walked right by her. How do I know this? I came indoors, and saw her fly right by again in the other direction. This time I found her.

    A gorgeous face with those dark eyes, what a delight to find her and get a video. She must feel so safe to fly close by.

    Owl sightings are always special, Jennifer. They are certainly well camouflaged. Wonder if it might be interested in a snack of goldfish.

    Lovely owl photo! (I once saw a Barred Owl and Red Fox competing to catch a squirrel in Algonquin Park. The Owl won!)
