Barred owl - Strix varia

Wow thats a great photo, little sleepy head? or is it calling how cute.

love that picture!

He/she was sitting on the tree close to our deck (but he is a regular visitor...if not resident) It was a daytime so he was sleepy.
Thanks for your comments Drc726 and Stickitoffee

Such an incredible photo! And to get yawning is almost impossible! :>)

We were watching him/her for a long time, Delonix1. He yawned many times. . It is a beautiful bird.

Yes, very beautiful!

It must be a resident . It was sitting on the fountain yesterday. No time to grab a camera though.
