Wild Barred Owl Catches Eastern Worm Snake

You don't have to go to Africa to see amazing wildlife encounters. Sometimes you don't need to go any further than your own backyard. While working outside my shop this evening, I noticed something land in a tree nearby. After moving around slowly, I saw it was a barred owl. I walked slowly to the house and grabbed my slow motion camera and casually walked through the woods. I sat and watched the owl patiently  from about 40 feet. Patience eventually paid off. The owl re-positioned himself twice before diving out of a tree to catch an eastern worm snake moving through leaf litter on the forest floor. This brief moment definitely made my evening.
