Barred Owl
I am really jazzed that I got to shoot this owl (we were in Armstrong Redwood State Reserve in Northern California), but I thought it was a Spotted Owl, and realize now it's a Barred Owl. I am still very happy to have seen it! The most awesome thing was that it flew to this branch only about 10' above my partner's head and stared at her on and off for 4 minutes before flying to a different branch. She was mesmerized, and so was I!

Owls cannot move their eyes and that is why they have such great movement with their heads. The way the face of a barred owl is constructed allows sound to into the facial area and get to the offset ears.
