A final shot of this Barred Owl. A friend called me at home to tell me about this owl perched on a branch of a Birch tree. It had been there for some time and since it was some 20 minutes by car away, I at first thought not to go; however, I changed my mind and luckely it was still there when I got there. It stayed for another 15 - 20 minutes or so and then flew off.
