A Close Encounter With The Majestic Barred Owl

I was driving slowly along the auto tour road at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma when I came across a fascinating sight: a Barred Owl.
Today's post is dedicated to the majestic Barred Owl that I spotted catching a crayfish and then taking it to a nearby tree to savor it.
I set out on the auto tour road to start my photography session. As I approached the 4-corners area, I spotted a Barred Owl perched in a nearby tree.
This Barred Owl stretching a leg is the same Barred Owl I posted about a few days ago (Barred Owl Hunting A Roadside Ditch). It was near the same ditch.
The Barred Owl was in an area that I couldn’t see it when I first drove by. I spotted it on my return trip.
It was near the four-corner intersection of the auto tour road (Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge).
I had my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
I was driving the auto tour road at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma when I spotted this Barred Owl hunting a roadside ditch. The ditch was full of water, so I’m guessing it was catching Crayfish. I have seen and photographed Barred Owls with Crayfish during this time of year.
This Owl was low in the tree and was eye level. I parked in the road and got a few quick photos before it flew away.
