Went out last night to pour a bag of corn for the deer that pass through our area. Returning to the house I noticed this 12"-15" tall guy or girl on a branch about 10' off the ground. Their back was turned toward me.
I talked to it and got no response. All it took was one Hoooo and it turned its head around and leaned down toward me as though an attack was imminent.
I decided it was still worth getting out my phone for a pic even if I ended running and screaming with an owl attached to the back of my head.
Sorry not the clearest shot.
