Barred Owl

We are currently at 83°F with 95% relative humidity, and the wind is dead calm here in Louisville. “Muggy” would have been an understatement this afternoon when I walked practically right underneath this barred owl perched near a trail at Cherokee Park. It’s not often that I have to actually step back to get the shot!
