Mission unaccomplished

This is the peak of our barn; also the home of our resident barn owl. Last night I was able to see the mom owl bring food to a very noisy baby (I think there are two of them). It was almost too dark to take a picture, but I managed a few poor ones before practically being attacked by the mom. So tonight I was determined to be there earlier, be patient, be successful...to no avail. One of these days I will present an owl on this perch!
