This Barred Owl was hunting over a slough until I came along.
If an owl is awake, trust me, it knows you are there.

Nice catch. I've yet to see an owl to say nothing of photographing one. A great horned owl does keep me awake at night on a few rare nights but that is it. vz

Well done Mike.
A BBC crew have been filming up in New England for a 'one off' nature program that we get through the four seasons. Chris Packam, the lead presenter has done a second filming using American assistants ready for American viewers. So should be coming your way pretty soon.
Anyhow, whilst filming they came across a Barred Owl several times during the daylight hours. It seemed to have a favourite tree that it slumbered on during the day and didn't seem to be disturbed by the presence of the film crew.

I see the same thing. Barred Owls have very small territories and love to sleep in a favorite roost. At present
I have two of those trees spotted, and see them there regularly. The owl in this picture is one of them, but was
hunting near his slumber tree for this shot.
