WOW!! This is a rarity in the States. It habitat is the western border of California, Oregon and then mid Washington and northern Idaho, and like you say rare in southern Idaho. It is the biggest owl we have. It is common in Canada and Alaska but in the lower forty eight it is rare. Really good find, they are hard to spot; you hear them mostly but that's about it.
Beautiful photos; they both belong on your wall.
