Ask and ye shall receive

A few weeks ago I mentioned to Erica that I was a little annoyed we hadn't had a Barred Owl at our place yet this winter...well, sure enough when I pulled into the driveway today there was one sitting not far from the feeders!

It was a bit too dark to get really great pics of this one, but a couple winters ago this one was on the feeders when I got home from work in a bit better light.  The crazy thing is, guess what date this was? February 24, 2010, almost 2 years ago exactly!
