Betsy and Marty Clark have seen several owls over the years on their 20-acre property in Old Town. Last spring, they were visited by a friendly barred owl that, rather than keep its distance, instead appeared intent on making closer contact. “We thought he left and then suddenly he appeared downstairs on our deck looking in our living room window. It was definitely spooky but cool,” Betsy said. She said the owl went from window to window all day, almost as though it was “hunting” the couple. “Not sure what he was hoping for…maybe an invite in?” Betsy wondered.
