Who cooks for you?

Reasonably decent picture of a Barred Owl perched in a mostly bare tree on an overcast Winter night.
Some Barred Owls have moved my neighborhood the past couple of months so we've been enjoying them on our night walks. The combination of snow on the ground + overcast skies kept things light enough last night to grab a (literally) half-decent picture of one of them.
Title explanation: "Its usual call is a series of eight accented hoots ok-ok-ok-ok ok-ok-buhooh, or the "typical two-phrase hoot" with a downward pitch at the end. The most common mnemonic device for remembering the call is "Who cooks for you, who cooks for you all." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
