Wow! What a beautiful bird.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

My big bad pit bull is scared to death of owls.. Last night I took her out to potty, and we heard the weirdest noise I have heard in a while.. I assume it was an owl, but I couldn't see it, so I'm not sure. It didn't sound like a typical "hooo hoo" that you normally hear.
Well, it made its noise again after we first heard it, and Alize' slowly backed her way back on to the porch where I moved to, and was standing in between my legs, growling... Everytime I would move, she would move with me... What a big brave girl.
