Gertrude (the Barred Owl - Strix varia)

We had the pleasure of this vistor's company one fine day in February. We hope you enjoy these shots as much as we did taking them.

Gertrude - 01 Gertrude - 02 Gertrude - 03 Ready to pounce on a field mouse. Fully camouflaged. Look at the size of her claw. Gertrude - 07 Gertrude - 08 Gertrude - 09 "Who-cooks-for-you? Who-cooks-for-you-all?" is all that Gertrude said.
