This Barred Owl was a Lifer for me! He was hunting on the side of the road near dusk, and wasn't the least bit bothered by my snapping camera - in fact, it seemed as if he was performing for me! He was flying from tree to tree and diving for dinner, but unfortunately came up empty handed. It's not often that I walk away from an owl - they usually fly away first, but this one seemed to enjoy our presence! He would often just stare directly at me - which was a little unnerving, but a magical feeling.
