The barred owls in Okefenokee Swamp often perched in small trees (sometimes only a few feet above the swamp). This vantage point allowed the owls to maintain a constant vigil for potential food, day or night. This includes lizards, snakes, eels, frogs, and small rodents. Being a species that I consider very secretive, it was unusual to see barred owls exposed in broad daylight. Georgia, US.
