Strix occidentalis
Owl. Brown feathers mottled with white.
This one was found in a side canyon at Zion NP resting in a tree.
Found this older picture. I think it is either a spotted owl or a burrowing owl. I have also included a picture of the two juveniles that were sitting in the tree. I wish I would have gotten some better pictures.
Just a guess because it's hard to see in the photos. Check out this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bir...
