A Bobwhite Killing
“We’d picked a spot just about twenty minutes away from the hotel where a spread of old-growth forest offered plenty of roosting spots for owls. About five minutes into our walk through the woods, we spotted a Barred Owl perched at the entrance of a tree cavity.

“Barn owls have dark eyes,” Tom corrected her.
