There are owls all around where I live, and we hear them all the time at night. When we 1st moved in 22 years ago, we saw a baby owl on top of a stack of firewood in our yard. He would flap his wings like he was practicing what to do when he started flying. If he fell off the stack, he would use his beak and claws to climb back up. His mom was hovering around, making sure her baby was OK. We figured he fell out of the nest. He was white, but the mom was brown.
A few months ago, I saw one in the trees around our house. I did take pictures but wish I had had a better camera. I couldn't get too close because he would fly away, and my zoom only worked to a point. We had taken pictures of the baby owl, too--we were able to get a little closer because he couldn't fly away, but we were careful not to be a threat to the mom!
