Haha, Yes. When I shared the pic with my other friends, who are not birders. I actually added: That is what he looks like, I did not scare him.

The first one looks very rounded and visually challenged with empty eyes while the second has an angular alert appearance with very prominent eyes.The third bird looks like a real sweety-pie.Thanks for posting!

Someone once told me that they take this elongated posture when scared - don't know how much truth in that statement. Anyway, Owl#2 will avoid Owl#1 by all means.

It was funny, when I found the LEO, the Barred Owl was snoozing. They are not that far apart.
