I think it is a really big Barred Owl. I am actually listening to them now.

 

I guess I can't call him Hedwig can I?

Yes it is a Barred.  Having handled one I can tell you they look bigger than they actually are--most of what you see is feathers.  In fact, I was surprised at how small the body actually is compared to, say, a chicken that looks about the same size.  For that reason I suspect they wouldn't be a threat to standard-size, adult chickens.

 

7.5 acres in the western Catskill foothills of garden, blueberries, 4 cats plus 20 Black Stars, 12 RIR, 7 EE's, 4 Brown leghorns, 4 BR, a SS and 6 guinea keats,  including one very happy EE rooster. In 33 yrs of keepin' chickens I shoulda learned somethin', but unfortunately I'm addicted to the MCMurray catalog.

All fluff and no bite? big_smile.png I am glad I have them around. And that my girls have a covered run. Just in case one feels a snack attack coming on when they are around the girls. 

I think owls are soo awesome.

My BIL looked at his game cam pics from our pasture this weekend and theres a shot of does fighting I wish I could put on here.  The same agressive doe is in several days of photos, staring everyone down with her ears back.

Caught these wonderful creatures on my game cam a little over a year ago. They are some rare specimens.

I was reviewing my card from the camera and I was like who the heck is that and my daughter says that looks like James.

Then I see his father Dave( on crutches,fell out of a tree stand)who I have hunted with but he never called me to say he dragged one out. But he actually shot it up the street behind his house. I called him 3 days after the fact,he hears my voice,starts laughing and says I've been waiting for you call. He didn't even give me a steak. The best part a little buck came out 45 minutes later right where they were standing.
