Barn Owl

Barn owl, watercolor We biked out to the Yolo Grasslands Park on Saturday to look for a long-eared owl that’s been reported out there. We didn’t find it, but this barn owl was sleeping in the eucalyptus the long-eared had been using. Since I mostly see barn owls around Davis in nest boxes (or flying low over the field looking for rodents), seeing one perching in a tree was a treat.
