At the end of the afternoon I was headed out to run an errand - and came across a Barred Owl foraging at the bottom of the driveway. As I approached in the car it dropped to the ground out of a pine, sat with its feet buried in the snow for a minute, then took off and flew to the southwest. I’ve heard them calling from our woods back in the Fall, but I never expected to come across one foraging in the daytime!
