common_natureWhile hiking in the Lake Champlain islands, I stumbled across this guy or gal trying to sleep. The afternoon sun was glaring behind it so this isn't the best picture, but it was still a cool sighting!
The Barred Owl is our most common owl in New England, and the easiest one to get a look at since they tend to roost out on open branches and aren't too skittish of people. I've seen them roosting during the day a few times near well-traveled trails. They're also commonly heard at night, with their "Who cooks for yooooou?" calls ringing through the woods, or sometimes in your back yard if you're lucky!
