Cyanocitta cristata
Large raptor species with black, white, and brown marking on its back, a brown and white streaked chest, and the tell tale "red"ish brown shoulders.
Mixed forest near wetlands.
My wife woke me up from my Sunday nap to run outside and try to get a photograph of this "huge owl-like bird." Well, it does appear to be well-fed and fluffed up, but when it took flight it was obviously not an owl.
