These Barred Owls blend in so well.
I drove right by and had to turn around. Lucky he didnt fly away.
Let me know if you can find him.

In the comments of the original post, people were discussing how often times, new spotters will be looking way too high in the trees.
While they are often perch hunters, hiding up so high keeps them further away from prey and with more potential obstructions in the way. They suggest looking in the lower canopy and looking for white streaks of their feathers along the trunk.
Often times, you will also find remains of previous meals at the base of their favorite trees, or you will hear other birds throwing a major fit, trying to disturb the owl into moving along.
That’s really cool info!
I look forward to hearing about your future owl sightings! 😃
I found Waldo! But yeah I lost a vole or two in the process.
Just a small cover charge for entering the Owl Finders’ Club…
Behind you!
Oh no! You’re right!
Holy shit! Hahahahaha
Barreds are infamous for swooping people at parks/trails. Every year as nesting season kicks in, local news stories about people getting divebombed are everywhere. That’s pretty near he got his attack captured on video though. Hopefully he sustained no scratches.
