This barred owl is the first surprise of the morning and hung around long enough for several shots.
This is why I love paddling.
Shown here is the juvenile. The parants were at the tree top which was too high to have good angle.
I visited the same spot next day, all parants and chick were not there anymore.
Father owl, eye injury improving?

Pellet found under juvenile owl appears to match part of a bird found on the other side of the park. Did the adult feed the juvenile only part of the bird?

Early this morning I was helping with some bird surveys and has just gotten to this site in Northern Baltimore. I saw something in the distance with huge wings fly into a tree, so I went to check it out. Suddenly this barred owl (Strix varia) was ~20 feet away from me, on the ground, with his/her back to me! I crouched and waited for the owl to turn his/her head....and voila! Within 5 seconds of this shot, he/she took off. I can't believe I was able to get so close to this guy!! :)
Pellet found under roost of juvenile and parents. Run over by car.
