Wise Old Bird

A wise old owl sat in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard,
Now wasn't he a wise old bird?


Here is a Barred Owl (Strix varia) that took me by surprise today as he looked calmly down upon me. I got lots of pics from different angles and even caught him blinking (see first pic).

Thanks for the encouraging words; I am really glad you enjoy them because I sure enjoy watching and photographing the birds. I agree with you, birds are very comforting and beautiful to watch. I am considering starting a new blog just for the bird pics.
