Cool 60° day with intermittent rain and a wind; so, I'm drinking a hot tea while sitting on our open/covered back porch watching our backyard bird feeders.
All of a sudden, I'm hearing a Barred Owl calling from way down the west arm of Lake Frederick. So, I grab the camera & binoculars and drive to an access path close to Crooked Run and hustle down the primitive trail.
As I advance, I can see he's getting a little nervous.
