I’d like to thank Mark Chao for his timely report of a snoozing BARRED OWL in Sapsucker Woods this noon. Later in the afternoon I slipped/shuffled along the trail in from SSW Road towards the lone white pine with the roosting owl. Along the way I scored a near-perfect suite of woodpeckers: Pileated, Red-bellied, Downy, and then a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER that flew in quietly to a tree right beside me.
