Description

The barred owl survived the tough NH winter. Now the snow is soft, red squirrels are around, and mice will be plentiful. What a thrill it was for me to have her in my backyard for three days. This summer, when I hear the owls calling to each other at night, I'll believe one of them is her. Thanks for following along.
