Great catch! What fun!
Do you see this owl often?

Actually about every month or so.

Interesting!
That owl must have had a full belly, already.

Great shot. It's the squirrel that should be intimidated, though.

Excellent catch, Rowedean! That is not a smart squirrel.

I can see squirrel on the menu in the near future! Cool photo.

The owl seems to be thinking "Just and inch or two closer...."

Maybe that squirrel was being bold enough in its rage to give the owl an angry earful for eating another neighborhood squirrel less than a half hour beforehand, banking on the likelihood the owl was too full to strike again so soon. ??
