Unfortunately, I did not get to see this bird, but my older brother (who is
 a wildlife biologist) flushed a barn owl out of some tall grass in
northern Ross  County, along Deer Creek.  This happened on Dec. 26th.   I  thought
the readers here would find that interesting, and I would be  interested in
knowing if others have had similar experiences with barn  owls.  My brother
has encountered them a couple other times over the years  roosting/resting
in tall grass, reeds, etc.  I had never heard of these  birds doing that.

My big thrill this frigid weekend was watching a male Yellow Bellied
Sapsucker on my suet feeders yesterday (Jan. 2) and seeing a Carolina Wren for
the first time in weeks on my peanut feeder.
