A beautiful Sharp-shinned Hawk visited our garden several times over four days in late October. It was quite small… hardly bigger than the Blue Jays it was chasing.   Gwen Forsyth

I shot this picture of a Barred Owl in Jackson’s Park on November 1. It was 11:30 AM  right off the main entrance to the park when we spotted it.  There were a few nature enthusiasts and a wildlife photographer (minus his camera) that walked by and asked me to send this along to you, I guess they have not seen this owl in the park before.  Marti Olivieri
