Barred Owl asleep in the snowy woods

I went out for a walk in the woods on a snowy day hoping to find some owls. I have photographed Owls in this location before and with the snow falling down thought it might make for a great photo if I could find one. Sure enough about 10 minutes into my walk I saw one asleep on branch overlooking a stream that runs through the woods. He was pretty oblivious to my presence and I kept my distance as not to disturb him.
