I guess they don't normally get this far south so I feel lucky to have gotten a few shots of this guy at the airport where I work.

Looks like the Harry Potter owl. What a beauty, hope it stays safe around the airport.

One of the most beautiful birds I've seen in person. I'll do my best to keep him safe.

Thanks! I have heard from others that they like airports because they can see little critters easily.
