This Barred Owl was looking over a small pond in a grove of trees that let very little light through.

He was more concerned with watching for movement in the water and on the small island than with humans passing by.

The Owl moved from tree to tree, patiently looking for a meal. Unfortunately the space was too tight to get an in flight shot.

Checking out the water below with a twist of his head, the Owl’s giant feet were on display.

Wonderful shots. In the third photo the background vegetation creates a wonderful mood.
Thanks, Belinda. That little pond does have a neat feel to it…you can almost hear “once upon a time…”
