What a Hoot


We had a visitor today.
Perched on a treebranch in our front yard, I was amazed to see this beautiful creature seemed quite content to allow me a close-up.
I don't know much about owls, so I looked it up.
This guy is known as the Northern Barred Owl, Swamp Owl, Striped Owl, Hoot Owl, Eight hooter, Round-headed Owl, Le Chat-huant du Nord (French for "The Hooting Cat of the North"), Wood Owl, and Rain Owl. It is also mistakenly known as a Bard Owl.
