Week 10 of 2017 52 week project: Barred Owl
Had a house full of people and it has been raining a lot lately so not a lot of time to get my photo of the week in. I was playing golf last weekend when a couple firetrucks went by the course with the sirens blasting. I heard a pair of Barred Owls answer back to the sirens. Game on! Local owls 5 miles from my house. I headed out at first light this morning to find them and it was SO foggy! Wasn’t really worried about the lighting I wanted to find their den tree. Five minutes into the search and I had them both calling to me. Didn’t find the den tree yet, but now it just a matter of some more field time.
Life is good and I am blessed!

The female does not look like the reference photos of a female mandarin, but doesn’t look like any other duck I have seen either. Hoping it is a young Mandarin female that hasn’t developed her markings yet.
