Owls are always very special to see, but this one even more so as I got to get some quality photo time the morning my wife went into labor with our first son! This Barred Owl was photographed September 22, 2020 in Medford, MA. I kept my distance, and the Owl was more perturbed by a dive-bombing attack of Blue Jays than of me. The pensive, skyward glance, is actually keeping an eye on the smaller birds trying to keep it away.

#BirdFact : Barred Owls are non-migratory and are believed not to move much further than a 6 mile radius.
