Rick KenobiWe had a lovely visitor on our back fence this morning - a Barred Owl!

Here's a picture of my wife taking a picture of the owl in the backyard while trying to let our tiny dog Muffin have her morning bio break!
And THEN... one of our local squirrels (Molty Muldoon) decided to check the owl out... BE CAREFUL!
Oh, it got weirder. I feel like my backyard squirrels have never seen an owl before!
Vitskapsdama@[email protected] I was wondering about the owl! It must be infinitely patient to put up like that with the squirrels.
@vitskapsdama Yes, according to my wife, he is essentially napping on the fence because he feels safe. He's likely got a full belly from last night - and he is really unbothered by the squirrels or even me or my wife when we go in the backyard.
I've seen that type of behaviour before in our local forests, where we see an owl and it could care less about our presence. He's one cool customer!
