While my cousin was putting a drive on for me yesterday, he snapped this pic of an owl just hanging out in a tree.

The first thought i had when seeing the photo was thats an owl...i zoomed in, and the first thing that stunned me was that he is decorated in the original tree-bark camouflage. The design of nature is nothing short of amazing.

Barred Owls are very social and "talk" back and forth like a bickering couple.
They are the most vocal of the owls--but rarely hoot.

Someone gave hoot!

Your cousin has a good eye. Many would not have seen that.

Barred Owl talks like this : HO ,ho ,HO ,ho,HO,ho , HO AWWWWWW. We have always had several of them around. Barreds' and Great Horned Owls are fun to imitate , makes them worry that there are intruders trying to take their territory.

My dad's first cousin had a tame great horned owl back in the early 60's. We used him to draw crows,
