We found this owl roosting in the top of an old barn on the afternoon of Sat. 28th Nov whilst visiting the Cedar Hill State Park near Dallas, Texas. Because of the position of the owl on the beams and the cobwebs, and also the fact that there was only a small opening in the end of the barn, we could only get a partial photo. The diagonal beams were probably 6-8 inches wide.
It is definitely not a Barn Owl, and from it's colouring we think most probably a Short-eared Owl. Thanks for any confirmation on this id.
