Hoot Hoot!

A big thank-you to Margaret for pointing this out to me while we were walking yesterday!  A beautiful Barred Owl perched just down the road from my house.  Not very often you see owls in my 'hood, especially at noon!  Poor guy (or gal) was desperately trying to sleep but people, dogs and cars kept going by.  His public perch was good for me, but I'm sure he's tired today.
