Description
This photograph is of a young Barred Owl hunting prey in our yard. I like to sit on our porch and watch nature. The owls are not liked by the other animals in the woods that are smaller than them. I have seen them take large snakes and full grown squirrels that let down their guard. The smaller birds hate them, as they will eat their young. We can always tell when an owl or hawk is in our trees as all the birds start chattering loudly and flying around the owl in a pestering fashion. On the other hand, owls hold down the rodent population and they only eat what they kill. After heavy rains, they feed on the crayfish coming to surface. Barred Owls have a large wingspan and swoop gracefully through the trees and brush. Amazing animal to watch. And they like to watch you.
