Barred Owl Perched

Gregg Thompson spotted a Barred Owl perching. And then it looks like the owl spots Gregg spotting him.

Before the 1900s, Barred Owls were only found in the eastern United States. Now their range includes the Pacific Northwest and California. It seems inconsistent, but these owls do not migrate. Once they establish a territory, they stay throughout the year.
