Continuing Barred Owl. Owl was napping in one of its usual perches. Suddenly, it started moving around a lot. I thought maybe I was being too loud or something, but then the Owl turns around and pulls a dead Star-nosed Mole out of the snag. The Owl then spends a good 12 minutes eating the Mole right there in front of me. After finishing his mole meal, the Owl returned to his normal sitting position in the perch, and continued napping. I never knew they stored food for later outside of nesting season, this was a treat to see!
