The Wise Old Owl

            Barred Owl (Strix varia) - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

The barred owl's reflective and solitary demeanor makes it the owl I most associate with the old nursery rhyme, "The Wise Old Owl". 

"A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?"

Thanks for visiting!
