Owl visitor

[Nina Shepardson]

Hello fellow birders,

A little before 8pm on Wednesday evening, the robins in our backyard started making a big ruckus. We looked out the window but didn't see any obvious reason why they were so worked up. Then we heard: "Who cooks for you?" We scanned the trees more closely, and there was a barred owl perched in one of them! After a few minutes, he got fed up with all the robins harassing him and flew away.

What a spectacular yard bird!
