Barred owl (Strix varia)

While I was sitting in front of my house, this owl alit in a nearby tree and watched me for a few minutes. A few days later, it returned (but I didn't have my camera with me.)

You must remember to have your camera close by when you're sitting outside your house :-)

Thank you very much, Keith. I think it may have been staring down my throat. ;-)

In that case, I suppose you're lucky it didn't try to stuff a dead Vole down there :-)))
