Barred Owl

The surprise of the day was a Barred Owl in the Ramble of Central Park.  It’s an unusual bird for the park, especially in the springtime.  It was not welcomed by the Blue Jays, who gave it an amazingly hard time.  At dusk it began to hunt and was fascinated by a tree cavity.  I wonder what it was after?
