No holds barred

A barred owl (Strix varia) rests on a fallen redwood tree in Muir Woods National Monument. While they mostly hunt at night, barred owls can be seen during the day, occasionally flying among different resting sites. This owl was quite a showman- posing for the multi-dozens of photographers that stopped to see it. The eyes were an eerie dark color, gleaming in the right light.
