Owl in the area recently

We've been hearing an owl hooting recently. The night before last, we heard the scratching of talons as it landed on the chimney vent, and then the hooting noises. Typically they don't show themselves in daytime very much, but one morning it was cloudy and the owl spent  a few minutes at the water feature.


To get an idea of how large this bird is, take a football and put feathers on it, add wings and a head, that's about the size of this beast.






Here's lookin' at ya.








And yes, I had to add deer pictures to this post also. The spring fawns are getting quite large now. With all the rain we've been receiving, there's plenty of wild stuff for them to eat.
