As I was walking out of the Norwich Post Office parking lot onto Elm Street about 3:15 this afternoon (Jan. 6), extended vocalizing by a Tufted Titmouse caught my attention. The titmouse was calling close to, and clearly in response to, a handsome Barred Owl silently perched in a tree by the south boundary towards the rear of the Norwich Historical Society property located at the corner of Main (Route 5) and Elm Streets. I've never previously found a Barred Owl so near the business center of Norwich village.
