I’m keeping it simple today since I shared two posts yesterday. I photographed this Barred Owl two days ago at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge.<\/p>\n

I hadn’t photographed a Barred Owl at the refuge in several months, and I\u2019d been missing them a lot. I went many years without seeing or hearing them, so I\u2019m really enjoying them now.<\/p>\n

Hearing them call at night is such a treat, and so is finding them out in the open where I can take photos.<\/p>\n

When I spotted this Barred Owl, I was over the moon.<\/p>\n

The spindly perch wasn\u2019t perfect, with small branches crossing the owl\u2019s face, but since they were so thin, I didn\u2019t find them too distracting.<\/p>\n

And it was a gorgeous Barred Owl in the soft morning light, something I couldn\u2019t get in Utah. I\u2019m happy with these two photos.<\/p>\n

I’ll be listening for the \u201cWho cooks for you?\u201d duet call<\/span><\/a> this morning!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
