First Barred I've seen this winter and because of the choice of perches, I'm believing it's the same owl that was a frequent visitor last year.

In a field where the Canada Geese are nesting and probably harvesting eggs.
A curiosity for me in these images is that foxes seem to be able to turn their ears from concave to convex.

Mating. Female was identified in previous observation.

The closer of the two on the branch is a male. (See next observation). Here, I am identifying the female with a darker face and neck.

leucistic

Black-tipped tail (photo 3) that's about 1/3 its overall body length and small, rounded ears.

Hunting a small opening in the woods and moving to another perch to change vantage.

Fast. Short-legged. Weasel-sized. Hunting along the banks of the brook among the boulders and fallen trees.

An amazing population, in full bloom, in a special spot

Two egrets had a scuffle for some reason.

About 4 feet long; Rather aggressive and unhappy that I disturbed it when moving brush and firewood
