Nice!
Thanks Joshua! This guy had been hanging out in the same tree for the past 2 weeks, and I was taken right to that tree. Only way I was able to see him, would have never found him without the help of the guy that knew where he was hanging out at!
Congratulations on spotting it in the daylight! We have them around here; I hear the call that earned them our name "the back-up owl" (sounds like a truck safety beep when they're backing up). Never actually seen them, though.
Great spotting!!!
