Spotted a Barred Owl landing in a roadside tree about 4 pm on Saturday 
on Bliss Road in East Montpelier.  MY daughter and I spotted movement as 
we drove East from Center Road.  The owl was intent upon gazing below, I 
assume at a rodent.  We had the opportunity to sit and observe from 30 
feet away before it flew off to a tree 20 feet further from the road.
