Owl near the deck
A huge bird flew over the deck the other evening, then settled on a tree not far away. The birds in the area – robins and black-head grosbeaks, mostly – went absolutely crazy, circling it and chattering non-stop, until it flew down the hill and settled on another tree. The birds didn’t stop their noise, so obviously it was still too close to their nests for their comfort.
I’m guessing this was a barred owl, although I wasn’t able to get a good look at its face.
