Barred Owl - so close you can almost touch him

Came across this Barred Owl one lovely Saturday morning. He did not seem the least concerned by human observers. He was much more intent on his breakfast. In this video you can see hijm spot, catch and eat a crawfish (gulp!)

He or she is a pretty bird for sure. He's a smart bird too. he'll get close but once he notices you, he keeps a sharp eye on you

Wow! I had no idea they eat crawfish or go in the water!

I live in NE Ohio & I always hear these owls hooting. I was finally able to see one this morning (4:00 am) in my yard. He was beautiful!

owls are awesome, great eye sight for seeing prey high in the air and at night and great sense of hearing, very cool. I think they look kinda cuuute ^^

Great footage, so cool that this owl was visible and out and about during daylight, no doubt somewhat rare...

That's extremely cool. Where's the place? What's it called? I'll start planning a vacation there.
