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. :bash:

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.
