I've had this video of two juvenile barred owls since this summer. I started a post awhile ago but never finished it.
Today I saw this adult barred owl on our morning walk and was reminded of the summer video.
The owl was sitting in a swampy area not too far off the road.
It was finishing up a mouse for breakfast but I spared you the gory details.
We continued down to the lake. As winter bears down on us, the days are becoming shorter. Our days in Vermont are already 48 minutes shorter than when we set the clocks back an hour on November 2. Together with the overcast weather my morning pictures are sometimes a bit dark and dreary.
Here's a shot from earlier this week with out the overcast but the mountains are still dark and in the shadows. Have a great Sunday. Take the time to watch the video, its pretty cool.
