What type of owl is this? Seemed pretty tame compared to the rest I found today. He pretty much let me take as many pictures as I wanted.

Oct 11, 2012 22:15 | #6 Yeah my only guess was the Northern Hawk Owl but I couldn't tell for sure. I found 3 owls along the same gravel road within a mile of each other!

. Well I'm noticing the outlined face and the lines in the front feathers. Guess maybe it is a short eared owl.
