Hi Scott,

I also saw a barred owl late in the early evening last August in East
Bremerton perched on a wire while it was still fairly light. It was directly
over the road and didn't fly until another birder approached too closely on
foot to get pictures. It was my first barred owl. I was pretty excited.
