I went out on my usual early morning walk on the fireroad at Prettyboy. I 
heard more birds than I saw but top on my list was seeing the Barred Owl 
again. I am not sure if this is one of the Owlets grown now or if it is the adult. 
Masybe someone can tell from my picture below. I might have missed seeing it 
but I heard and saw many birds fussing and some were dive bombing the Owl. 

Other birds heard and seen on my walk were the Acadian Flycatcher, Wood-
Pewee, the cool sounding Veery, lots of Ovenbirds, Scarlet Tanagers, Gray 
Catbirds, Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, Pileated Woodpecker, Red Bellied 
Woodpecker, Geese and Carolina Chickadees, Carolina Wrens and Blackbirds.

A neat new yardbird for me last night was the sighting of a Great Crested 
Flycatcher perched on a Shepherd Hook right on my deck.
