Lifer! Lucky! Grateful!
I decided to go on a random birding drive without a specific spot in mind. 60 miles later and after stopping at railway crossings, gas station and several detours to click kestrels and other birds (separate posts), I was on a off-beat side road where I didn't miss spotting this large bird at 5:30pm. I was delighted to see a barred owl for the first time! I was there at the right time - how lucky!
Today, nature rewarded my 3 month old wish to see an owl! Happy with the quick turnaround! Grateful!
The owl and I exchanged few stares before it took off.
