I was able to find a lot of the birds I hoped to find in Florida while I was planning my trip. I had read about a Barred Owl's nest at Corkscrew before arriving so this was something I wanted to see. We found it because of the collection of people standing below. They were discussing the absence of the "limbing" out juveniles. We say "branching" in these parts. But anyway they all walked off without finding the young owl. As soon as they walked away the epiphytic plant on the branch above shook out it's feathers. The owl had been sitting above our heads the whole time. I later saw the adult which I found when it began to call, a thrilling sound, but never got a good shot of it.
