Barred Owl - a photo on Flickriver

Barred Owl

            After spotting this guy on the turn off to Sakinaw while driving back from Gibsons with Nannie, we grabbed my camera and drove back up to the point and found them again to take some photos. When they flew off deep into the woods, Nannie said that was it, but I picked up and went on after it. When I found it, I started quietly going over to take it's photo, but got distracted by a frog and took a couple photos of that. When I got to the owl, I went to take its photo, but saw I had no room on my memory card. I hastely deleted some photos to make space, and got the photo I wanted. Fast-forward about a half hour, and I'm sitting on a mossy precipice just enjoying the owl, when a flock of about 4 or 5 woodpeckers showed up, and began pecking on trees all around us. This poor owl, assaulted by a caucophany of beak-on-wood pecks, turned its head every time a woodpecker made a peck, and was frantically looking each way the entire time.
