Happy Friday All,

A barred owl was sitting in our back yard this morning.  I initially
noticed him (or her) sitting on a tree branch.  It flew briefly to a
another branch in a nearby tree and was still sitting there when I
left for work.  A few blue jays were harassing but it didn't seem to
mind.  This is our first sighting for the back yard, so it will be
interesting to see if it reappears.

Good birding,
