I had spotted the owl whose photo I posted yesterday and was so intent on getting his photograph before he flew away that I missed this other owl (mate??) that was much closer but somewhat hidden by foliage, and when walking slowly forward but toward the side (hoping the motion somewhat away from directly toward the first bird would not seem threatening) I did spook this lovely large guy which flew a little deeper into the wood then landed facing me. I used the 24x zoom to get the photograph, then cropped it to the present size which explains the lack of good detail - but I still like this amazing Barred Owl.
