Description
Whoo goes there by Jeff Folger. On a cloudy and rainy day a Barred owl sits in my oak tree. I'm not sure who was more surprised , him or me when I looked out my window and looked across my drive at this very large raptor sitting in my tree. I tried to not startle him so I slowly slid my feet so I might escape his notice and I could get my camera. No luck there. I had moved about 4 inches to my left when his head snapped around from whatever had his attention and now his dark black eyes were locked on me in the window. I slowly moved from his view and eagerly ran to get my camera and a long lens. I have screens on all our windows so I had to step outside into the drizzling rain and as I snapped shots of this Barred Owl, I could feel the rain tapping me on the shoulder. But I could always dry off as this is not something I normally see. A birding neighber will email me at night saying she just saw one or could I hear the hoot owl in the woods. These hunters are also known as, rain owls (today proved that) or hoot owls for their distinctive calls at night a wood owl or a stripped owl but the later seems to be a different type altogether.
