Barred Owl (Strix varia)Observer
kyletansleyDescription
Continuing Barred Owl. Owl was napping in one of its usual perches. Suddenly, it started moving around a lot. I thought maybe I was being too loud or something, but then the Owl turns around and pulls a dead Star-nosed Mole out of the snag. The Owl then spends a good 12 minutes eating the Mole right there in front of me. After finishing his mole meal, the Owl returned to his normal sitting position in the perch, and continued napping. I never knew they stored food for later outside of nesting season, this was a treat to see!

Barred Owl (Strix varia)Observer
kyletansleyDescription
A continuing owl and perch from last winter. I was very happy to see an old friend again after no owl sightings at St. Mikes Natural Area for months.
Kindof incredible and nervewracking to sit there with this owl as dozens and dozens of crows came through the area, even perching in the trees above us at some points. However, they did not spot the owl! Not even the chickadees and blue jays that came closer spotted him in this perch. Would have been a mobbing of epic proportions if he got caught napping. I'm guessing that's why he re-uses this perch, is because of how well it hides him during the day.
