A Barred Owl From The Breakfast Room Window

A family of Barred owls has made  their home here for more than ten years now.  Although they have hundreds of acres to nest in they prefer to be where the action is.  They are a bit like us in that respect. Why hang out in the woods when you can watch the people coming and going.   We have learned to follow their call to each other and can thereby locate their dwelling place.  Yesterday morning this particular owl decided to make a closer appearance and entertain the guest during breakfast.
