That is one mad looking bird! Cropping the top greenish part off strengthens the image to me.

I remember this little grumpy beast Darlene. Perfect for the motif.

I was going to say it looked a little soft in my monitor, Darlene. Then, I relaized it was because I was laughing so hard. The look on this Owl is hilarious. Awesome motif shot.

I can't believe no one caught this. This is a red phase Eastern Screech Owl. Wonderful Motif shot Darlene.

Great catch, I thought it looked a bit small for a GHO. Alan is likely quite right, I'm not that good with the smaller owls.
