While driving around looking for birds with a friend, we got lucky and spotted this Barred Owl perched on some wires over a field! The owl seemed to be hunting - they were turning their head in all directions as if scanning for sounds. When we drove back a bit later the owl was still in the same area, just perched on a tree instead.
