It's amazing how something you know is there is so hard to find. It's probably been 8 months or more since I last saw a Barred Owl. Like I said, I know they're out there, but they're usually very good at blending in. Maybe that's why they have the reputation of being "wise." Yet, over the last 2 weeks I've seen a Barred Owl almost every day as I commute back and forth to work. One morning, I saw three! It's a welcome site to see one and it's something I never get tired of.
With this particular owl, I was on my way home after work and happened to be in the right place just as the light was getting good. I quickly pulled to the side of the road, stepped out and starting shooting. Immediately, I noticed a branch running right in front of the owl's face, so I ended up standing on my truck bed topper to frame a better shot. I managed about 5 more frames and the owl quietly slipped deeper into the timber.
Enjoy!
