[birdky] feeder freeloader - Barred Owl

I woke up this morning to find a Barred Owl sitting in the snow  under our 
bird feeders.  After posing for a few  photos  it flew onto some lawn furniture 
and then perched on a honeysuckle  limb in our wooded area just overlooking 
the feeders. It has continued to  be present so far today and I have gotten 
fifty or so pics so far. Just a  few minutes ago it swooped down and caught a 
vole. I think I was able  to get a pretty good shot of the owl swallowing it 
whole. The  birds are still coming back and forth to the feeder no problem 
(even 
when he was  right on the ground below).
