It's a whole different world at night, as Keren Lacourse discovered in her back yard at 2am. This Barred owl was perched on her chair swing.

Christine Southwick says that Barred owls are "fierce protectors of their property" (see article).

Keren may need to figure out a way to coexist - but she certainly won't have to be concerned about mice in the back yard!
