I photographed this Barred Owl yesterday at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. It was preparing to dive at people walking on the road. It must have a nest nearby. Everyone left the area when they noticed they upset the Owl, me included.
I was standing outside my pickup hand-holding my camera and lens. This was in an area where the road passes through a slough. A pair of Barred Owls have been nesting in this area for the past few years. This is the first time I have seen one upset and I think this is because we were outside our vehicles.
