Barred Owl

Scared this guy up driving out to work today. Took me a while to find him up in the trees and he pretty much flew away as soon as I did find him. Have to admit I have never even heard of a barred owl before. He was actually a pretty good size. I missed the exposure on this a bit:sad: so had to lighten it some. I'll be watching for this guy again.

What a beautifully patterned and colored cloak of feathers this little fellow has on!

Looking forward to you finding him and getting a clearer shot. He looks quite handsome.
