'm being too glib here -- a Barred Owl that hunts in daylight by is definition not making a good living -- he's having to work overtime.
BTW, BBB, nice clip.

The squirrel's in its element, and the owl and the squirrel both know it. The squirrel would dance around on the branches and the owl would waste energy or break a wing. Now, if the squirrel were out in the open, the owl would have the advantage. Barred Owls, when hunting in daylight, make a good living perched over bird feeders, which are typically out in the open, and which draw squirrels to the spilled seed.

Why didn't the mom eviscerate the squirrel and feed it to the chicks? They could certainly use the nourishment.

I think it was because it was broad daylight. My impression is she can nail a squirrel any time she feels like. There were plenty roaming around.
