Hello all!
I don't have a clue as to what type of owl this is, but I kept hearing something outside and went out and he posed for a few pics. Any idea on type?

Not sure what kind of owl you have there George...but he sure is good looking! I'm sure someone will be along to ID for you!

We have lots of the big "barn owls"(I don't know my birds well). He is new for me.

Thank you Resin!
What about what I call a "barn owl"? They are pretty good size and do the classic hoot, hoot.

Screech Owls almost never screech.
Barn Owls don't hoot-they screech.
Great Horned Owls and Barred Owls both hoot and neither screeches.

So, old I guess you are saying I have great horned owls?? I guess I have never heard anything screech. I think I need to get on the net and clear this up.

Screech owls come in both red and grey phases. Yours is obviously a red.

I agree ... Eastern Screech Owl: http://www.raptorrehab.org/new/screech.htm
