Barred owls are not uncommon in my Seattle neighborhood, but they are often hidden among the trees, although their vocalizations are clear and unmistakable. This one was particularly cooperative however, by perching on a branch the location of which offered no obstructions to my line of sight. I had to travel no farther than the back deck of my house to get this photo.
