We came upon a barred owl and a fox. They were anxious to get away from us but we got a pretty good look at them both. We were hiking in the Poconos checking out waterfalls and some pretty fantastic vistas of the Delaware River from a cliff trail high above the valley. The area is still covered with towering oak trees (safe from gypsy moths at least for now) and filled with very chubby, active squirrels. Supposedly many black bear too but we haven’t seen any yet.
