12:00 pm • Barred Owls (aka, striped owl or hoot owl) can be found in much of Minnesota and North America. Though they are most active in the dark they can still be heard or spotted day or night. A walk in the woods leading to an owl sighting is always exciting. This sweet Barred Owl is just chilling, soaking in the sun beams, and contemplating the day. It is midday and it is a hot one. The sun is high in the sky, and all the critters are seeking shade. It is a good time to stretch the legs and see what the meadow may have to offer in the form of sustenance. It has been a good morning so far, the afternoon is shaping up well – on such a relaxed, warm day, how could the world not just be filled with pure love?
