Many thanks for this post. I headed out at 1 and was there for an hour and the owl was on the pole, very tame. It went from one pole to the next and stayed perched, then going out to the field before going back again. While the county road is not too busy and there is ample room to pull over, unfortunately there were several very rude drivers who decided to use their horns (and one nice one who waved). I was far on the shoulder and in no one's way, as were two other birders who showed up, so not sure what the deal was but that was frustrating. Hopefully he sticks around a while in the area, a very tame bird with some nice photos. Only bummer was not getting him (her?) in flight when I had the chance but quite the delight to see.
