This in Lee CO, NC

Yo chat, saw an owl at 9am in Snoqualmie-Baker National Forest at Mount Dickermen in Washington state.

What owl is this? Closest I got was Spotted Owl but I am no expert but he seemed medium or larger 🤔

(The last two are internet pictures.)

This image is like a decade old but one of my favorite owl shots I've taken. Hope everyone enjoys!! 😁

The owl seems happy enough. But to be trapped inside a tiny Japanese apartment doesn’t seem like much of a life.

Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) standing outside burrow at Black-Tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) town at Golden Prairie Bison properties near Valentine, Cherry County, Nebraska. Quite a few of them were seen at the town.

I keep hearing an owl at night. I hear it and it makes sounds while flying around almost always. it's not the same sound over and over again, although I have heard an owl like that near here, but it's different types of sounds. I am 100 percent sure that it's the one same owl though. for me it is late summer and I live in Greece. I have google it but none of the owls provided sound the same. idk if this is enough information for even a wild guess. I will add that I hear it quite late at night though (11 pm to early morning)

This big beautiful owl (great horned owl?) has been visiting my yard pretty much every afternoon around 3-5pm. It usually flies away when I take the trash out but today it didn't. I don't mind it coming, I just want to make sure it's okay or should I contact a local sanctuary? I'm in Chandler az, my garden does get watered at 330pm. There's a 60+ft tall eucalyptus tree behind my back wall, I can hear owls hooting from it most nights.

Every owl is more than a statistic. 🦉 A mate. A territory. A favourite perch. Babies waiting for a parent to return.
People can disagree about wildlife policy, but asking hard questions about killing Barred Owls to protect Spotted Owls belongs in the conversation.
Protect BOTH owls. Protect the habitat. Demand better.
