At 4:50 pm. January 18, at the corner of County Rd. #2 and Plunket Road, I spent 20 minutes with this Barred Owl, photographing the bird from about 50 metres. The owl seemed more curious than scared. Given the paucity of owls this winter, I was very pleased to entertain this fellow in my lens. Originally he was on a tall lamp post but then flew down to an old post in the field , perhaps having spied a mouse in the grass.
