We had a nice visit from a barred owl yesterday evening. Barred owls are pretty common in our area. You hear them often. And occasionally see them.
This owl was in our backyard on a skinny, bare tree in the middle of a swampy area. It was the golden hour, you can see the orange glow on the tree above the owl. The owl was in the shadow of our house avoiding the bright light.
Barred owls are sometimes called human curious at least from a distance. They can also be territorial especially around nesting time.

Cool visit indeed ! 😃
Thanks. We love owls 😍
Thanks 🙏🙏
What a beauty! Sits calmly on a branch.
Thanks. It sat calmly until my wife got too close 🙄
Great capture, what lens did you use?
Thanks we have a Cannon 75-300mm zoom that we have had for many years. Actually bought it for a old Cannon camera that used film we were using at the time 🙂
I really miss such a long lens. I'm getting ready to buy 100 400 but it's a bit expensive.
That odd feeling you get that someone is watching you... Then a super camouflage barred owl is staring at you.
Reminds me of that obscure movie the 4th kind.
Very cool! We have them around here, often hear them calling but seldom see them. Loved your first shot.
Thanks. Same here, we hear them often but seldom see them. It was a special visit.
