In Part I, Cinnamon spotted an owl for me.

We had an excellent shoreline walk.
The wetland is still frozen.

In Part II, Cinnamon found a crow up in the tree on the opposite side of the frog pond. I urged him to keep moving and leave the bird in peace. The bird flew off, squawking.

The pond is still frozen.
I climbed up to the driveway, up the hill and Cinnamon continued to sit and watch. We've geese and ducks flying over, but the pond isn't open yet.
🦉Barred Owl ←my master sighting list!
JB was out walking, and I decided to take him to see the owl poop under the tree. This used to be the favourite tree of the Daddy owl that nested here in 2016. There are lots of rodents around, as well as a rabbit.
Below is a feather I found on his favourite perch in this tree back in 2016!
Anyway, this is what we saw. We were thrilled. The videocamera did a better job.

wow, you sure got a great shot of the owl despite the lighting.
We have a nesting tree in the back of our acreage where the owls nest each year. Twice I've been able to get shots of them. Most of the time I don't have a long lens with me since I am hunting out tiny plants.
Your walks look amazing. LOL on the scat. People think I am odd for looking and ID'ing scat, but I think it is an important way to know what is going on in the forest!
Well there you go. Is that synchronicity or serendipity or both?
What a lovely owl to greet you - same one twice? And Cinnamon is always cute to watch!
How lucky to have another owl sighting. Cinnamon certainly like his walks with you.
How cool is that -- looking for owl poop and finding an owl! I love it! Our ponds are open -- yours will be soon!
Cinnamon was trying to tell you that your owl friend was up there! Nice to see that a cat can go on walkies and still be safe at home, as long as he doesn't catch a crow! Linda in Kansas
Great sighting of the owl!
Whoa! What a beauty! I love owls, such a thrill. Cinnamon takes it all in stride doesn't he?
Little miracles -- you two saw the barred owl at the perfect time! So neat that was when you were both there. I think it's also miraculous the way your kitties go with you on your walkies!
Watch for a nearby nest. they start nesting in Feb.
How exciting to see the barred owl. I would be over the moon. Cinnamon certainly enjoyed her walk.
What good luck to have the owl there!
I had planned to visit you for Part 1 of Cinnamon walkies, but I can only sit so long, then must lie down.
Cinnamon is a wonderful companion to have when you were on the lookout for that owl. Glad you and hubby found both the feather and the owl. I cant believe Cinnamon doesn't mind getting snow on his paws. Bleubeard sees snow through the glass door and runs like crazy.
Great shots and videos, Jenn.
I don't see any owls where I live, I think the most common is the Tawny Frogmouth but they don't live where I do. I am too close to the city.
How absolutely delightful that you & Cinnamon discovered the Owl. Such a beautiful bird.
