Barred Owl

[Tser]

I'm an avid bird watcher. I was lucky enough to see a Barred Owl very close to a trail at the local park, and point it out to many other hikers there. I couldn't believe how many people would have just walked right under it without noticing, if I hadn't pointed it out! Even with me avidly staring upwards and obviously looking at something. Everyone I pointed it out to was in awe.

We are outside of their historical range, but even though they are considered an invasive species here by some organizations and scientists, I really do think they're beautiful.

This owl also caught and ate its prey... moments after these photos. Right in front of me. It was pretty amazing to see!

Okay will do! It will be a while before I draw it, if I do I am currently working on a massive painting right now that will probably take me another month or so. If I do get around to drawing it, the only place I would post it would be on my fine art america page and if I do, I will make sure to link your tumblr. It sure does have perfect lighting! Great job on taking the photo!
