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.

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! :hello:

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.
