On Sunday March 6th, Rob and I ventured out with another birding friend to hopefully have a look at a Barred Owl well known to the area.
He was there, sleeping peacefully in a tree by a road side while photographers and birders alike mixed and mingled, occasionally snapping pictures of the honored guest. I was happy to see everyone was very respectful of the Owl, and I didn't see him open his eyes once while we were there. Though I heard he had put on quite the hunting show the day before, catching a vole for lunch.
As excited as I was to see the wild Barred Owl, a first for us, that isn't the moment that is forever etched in my mind, the picture below is.

I was in absolute awe when the bold Blue Jay, the locals call "Jack" landed in my hand for a peanut! And thrilled when he came back two more times for more.

It is indeed a cool experience.
