Photo submitted by Jordan DeLauer, an undergraduate student studying electrical engineering at Penn State Behrend. The submitted caption reads: "In the early fall I was given a tip from one of the campus groundskeepers that they'd seen a barred owl in the forests around Penn State Behrend. They said that I should try and find it to get a photo. Throughout the semester, I had gone out every chance I could to look for it. After almost an entire semester of looking up every tree, I had nearly given up hope. During Erie's recent blizzard that shut down campus operations, I managed to travel into the woods to look for the owl. Every step I took, I found myself up to my waist in snow. After almost five hours of slogging through the snow, the sun had began to set. As I started to head back to my car, I heard, for the first time, the owl's famous call. It sounded like it was hooting out, "Who cooks for you" from the other end of the forest. My heart jumped so much that I had to temper my excitement. I knew I was on a deadline and still had to find it before there was no light to see it, let alone take a photo of it. I finally saw a pair of eyes, big and dark as night, piercing right into me. In this quiet moment, the only thing I could hear was the wind blowing snow onto myself and onto the owl. I reflected on everything that made the moment possible. The forests that surround Penn State Behrend allow for species like the barred owl to thrive."
