Barred Owl - Cypress Lookout, BC The snow has finally come to the Vancouver area covering the mountains with blanket of white. During a trip up to Cypress Mountain, we stopped at the lookout where the snow hadn't quite covered everything, including the grassy slope where a Barred Owl was intently listening for prey. Our subject is one of the more common owls in our area but always a pleasure to see. These owls are not native to this area but the eastern part of the continent but have made their way here over the grasslands through homestead groves. Michael W Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com 2022
