Barred Owl at Cranberry Marsh

Today, 10 February 2013, I saw the celebrity Barred Owl at Cranberry Marsh, after trying many times since last October. In beautiful light, it sat quietly before an adoring crowd, unruffled. Families with young children watched it with awe.

 

It opened its eyes when two Wild Turkeys feeding near the trail flew over it and landed in the trees behind.

 

Cranberry Marsh is on Halls Road, Whitby
