Where do you think this owl was found? And what species do you think it is? I can tell you that it is not from a neighborhood near most of you. If you said Costa Rica, good job! One would never know this was in the rainforest from the pitch black and gorgeously haunting feeling to this photo. The bird is a Pacific Screech-Owl (Megascops cooperi) as taken by RTPI Affiliate Sean Graesser.
