That's What the Squawking is About

The Blue Jays were agitated and noisy, and doing their best to shoo away this back yard visitor.  I hadn't seen a Barred Owl here for many months, until yesterday.  I grabbed my camera and got some lousy shots handheld out of the window, on a dreary day.  This morning, I was finishing breakfast when the jays announced the return of Mr Owl, looking for a tasty treat near the feeder.  Fortunately, I had time to run and set up my tripod.  Perhaps it's a Mr, and Mrs is sitting on a nest. One can hope.
