A visitor to my yard

A few weeks ago, I was leaving the house early in the morning and found this guy not far from my house just sitting there. I was able to get a photo before he flew away. I'm not a bird guy. What kind of owl is he/she? I'm sending this on my iPhone so the resolution of the photo is not as high as it would normally be.

You don't say how big it is, but it looks like a Northern Pygmy Owl (6-3/4"). It could be a Barred Owl which is browner than your photo and about 21"

I would say that it is a Barred Owl based on the dark eye circles. Nice capture!

Really fantastic shot, Canonman! Lucky you; I've never seen an owl and you get one right in your yard! Wow!
