Another Frequent Visitor

I was able to snap a picture of our Barred Owls perching on the trampoline bars.
This rather large guy, 17-20 inches tall with a wing span of about 40 inches.
I guess it is good the field provides enough mice and snakes for this twilight feeder.

The most interesting thing about these guys is their ability to nearly turn their head completely around. Their calls sound like "Who, Who cooks for you!"
I am fine with their pest hunting but it is a big reminder to get our upcoming chickens or ducks sheltered during twilight.
