That is a Barred Owl. I live out by Alder lake and see them all the time. Just the other day when i left for work during the downpour we just had and there was one sitting on top of a fence post sopping wet. I drove right by him and he didn't care. Cool picture. They make a really cool hoot sound. If you do a search under Barred owl there will be some recordings of there calling if you are interested.

Beautiful, I love owls. I need more to get rid of the damn voles. We have a big one (barn I think) who hunts my yard/field at night.

Here's one from my yard. Anyone know who (no pun intended)

Please correct me if I am wrong but I think that is a Hawk Owl.

I believe that is a Northern Saw-whet Owl.

Well I took another look and I believe you are correct. The two owls are about the same size but the markings are distinct. That is a Saw-whet. Good job!

Headshot is correct. Sorry WAPITI, I got real busy after your post. Still trying to get pics of the Great Horned and the Barn owl that wake me up every morning.
