I imagine his inner dialog was something along the lines of, "Dis is bullsheet, unhand me now!"

Not sure if it is the same western screech owl since it didn’t go inside where I could get a better look, but exciting to hear and see one back! It has been almost 6 months. This was a couple days ago, nothing since but at least a sighting! Last time the owl showed up in August. We’re close - wonder if this is the “normal” schedule. And where do they go for 6 months? South for the winter?

Apologies for the low quality images. This guy looked relatively small to me and I saw it flying around between shrubby branches low to the ground. Didn’t make any sounds. In northeast ohio, near a river.

I sometimes see barred owls near this area but this one looks pretty different to me. Perhaps it’s young, but I can’t tell.

Apologies for the crappy unclear photo. Saw this guy in a proposed development (backcountry) of southwestern BC, Canada. A spotted owl would have implications for the proposed development. TY

Pictures are taken in Winnipeg Manitoba

This one has been flying around my home for the past few weeks. Got super close to me tonight while doing yard work
