ok, now i have burrowing owl. that makes a grand total of 1. i would have short-eared owl, as i heard one calling nearby, but i was unable to find it.
Here is another picture of mom and one of the baby. The nest was right above my camp trailer in Montour Id. Great place for bird lovers. Seen Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Osprey, Quail, and tons of other song birds. Montour in the summer is a great place for birders.

Little Owl
Short-eared Owl
rest of Europe
Tawny Owl (in the middle of Vienna!)

Verreaux's Eagle-Owl (Samburu Nature Reserve, Kenya)
Went looking for a great grey owl that had been spotted not far from Stockholm on a recent trip to Sweden for work, but didn't manage to find it (and sadly my conscience got the better of me so went off to catch up on work!)

3 more for my list :-
Palau Owl, Palau ( 2011 )
Austral Pygmy Owl, Chile ( 2012 )

Depending on taxonomy, that should take me to 100.
