I'm sure someone here will be able to tell me what this is.

He looks cool.
Somehow he makes me think of Sesame Street. I don't know why :scratch: ... Why does he make me think of that?

Hmm, I don't know. He makes me think of that too!

I can't help you out re the name of the owl, but LOVE the shot!

What a great shot! I'm not sure the species, but I can show it to a coworker who is an ornothologist if you'd like!

Yes, you may be quite quite right! :mrgreen:
There is something in this owl that resembles the Sesame Street owl, isn't there? Could it be the sleepy, yellow eyes!?!?

Good shot! I would peg this as the,
Great Horned Owl ,Bubo viginianus ...

He,s a juvenile as the tufts above his ears are not well defined.I see a lot of these,usually when I don't have the camera with me!
