I have seen those on the westside, at night they sound like a puppy whimpering. Very cool.

those are very cool, I was leaving capitol forest one evening after deer hunting, and had one fly into the drivers door of my truck.

I've seen them around here around Quinault several times over the years. I remember reading somewhere that unlike normal owls, they are actually active in the middle of the day too.
They are actually a really small owl, a little smaller than a robin. I seen one back in December in the top of a 10 foot fur tree while I was driving out of a clearcut deer hunting. It was like 15 feet from the truck and sat there for like 5 minutes while I took dozens of pics of it. Crappy thing is that it was real late in the day and damn near every picture turned out either way too dark or blurry.

Very cool! We have those around the Chelan area... saw my first one this fall while sighting in my muzzleloader. It was mid-afternoon and moving around.. didn't have my camera.. only binoculars. Was very cool to see. Glad someone remembers their camera now and then.
