Coolest thing just happened. It’s not a great pic and my door is dirty but I tried to get as good of a pic as I could.

An owl on top of our vehicle.

So cool! Any idea what kind it was? It looks big!

Yeah, it looks HUGE! I don't know what kind we have around here. I hear them at night but this is the closest that I've gotten to seeing them before. Except juveniles. You'll catch them out in the afternoon every now and again, which always shocks me because I thought owls were nocturnal. But I guess when you are newly out on your own and hungry, you try to go look for a meal, no matter the time of day.

ETA: After some quick research... It is probably a Barred Owl.
This is a better look at it and what it sounds like. Is a distinctive call. I've definitely heard this call.

Those are neat birds! I think we have those around here and great horned owls.

Btw I started watching Dr Phil videos on YouTube for some reason and some of these kids make me want to scream!

He is absolutely gorgeous! You lucky duck!
I agree, it looks like a barred owl. We have them here too. One almost drowned in our pool once!!

@Tesumph @CSAchook

I haven’t watched this one yet but I saw the title and knew I had to share it.

Also sorry Kiki (and everyone else), I swear I’ll stop talking about reptiles now

OMG!! Did you save him!? I need to hear this story!

No, we let him drown.

I figured you saved him when you said he almost drowned rather than did drown but I wasn’t sure if you saved him or if he got himself out eventually or what lol plus I need to hear this story.
