Barred Owl

Owls are so cool. Whenever I see one I feel like it was a complete accident, or the owl decided that he wanted to be seen. That was how it happened today. I walked one of the trails in Acadiana Park when I just sort of looked up in a tree off to the right...and there was an owl watching me walk by. A Barred Owl, to be precise.

Hooded Warbler

I heard several Hooded Warblers within Acadiana Park. They were around every corner, but I only saw one because they tend to like thick underbrush. The one I saw stayed put long enough for me to get this picture.

Lizard

What an astoundingly plain post title. In my defense, I am much better at identifying birds. These are "just" lizards to me. I caught this pair sunning on a tree in Acadiana Park in Lafayette.
