My wife was getting our daughter up for school one morning and they heard a bunch of blue jays and chickadees squawking loudly. She figured it might be the neighbor's cat, or maybe the fox that visits in the Spring but when she went around the house and looked out the window this is what she saw (Note it was taken with a Sony P&S through the window):

When they walked out for the bus, the birds were making a fuss in the trees near the driveway, but she didn't see the owl. When I got home from work about 9 hours later, we spotted it in a pine tree. No wonder we don't see more of them!

It was the best shot I could get with my XT and 100-400 without scaring him away.


These guys usually don't go far from their roosts by the way so it may still be in your area.
