I have had the incredible opportunity to witness and document the captivating behavior of a Barred Owl at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.
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.
