I never seen an owl closeup yet in my neck of the woods, and the only Owl in my neighborhood is a fake plastic one used to scare away the Starlings that help themselves to the backyard produce. Not really effective as my Blueberries often disappear before they ripen.
I do see other birds; Bald Eagle often at a distance, Robins, Lot's of Crows but I really enjoy the presence of Steller Jays.
Thanks for the pictures @ninahaskin 🦉
