So thanks to Willie D’Anna who reached out to Ron Pittaway and Jean Iron, their ID is Snyder’s Great Horned Owl, ssp scalariventris. Still pretty cool to have one this far south! This ssp was only recognized in 1991.
Here is the article written by Ron and Jean giving a more in-depth look at GHOW ssp : http://www.jeaniron.ca/Owls/2014/ghorned.htm Thanks again for everyone’s input and help. Good birding?
