We see barred owls year round in our woods. I was hoping the owl would open its eyes wider but he was content to doze and I was happy just to have seen him.
What a beautiful capture! The owl’s calm demeanor reminds me of how precious quiet moments in nature can be. I hope to catch a glimpse of one like this in my own walks one day.

How exciting to have these around and be able to photograph, great shot! I’ve heard a Barred Owl near me, but have never seen one.

Thank you, Deborah! They’re supposed to be common around here. I always hope to see a few during the year.

Yes, it is a joy to see them, just wished it was more toward daylight than at dusk or night around here. Tough to take photos then.
