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.

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:
