Very nice!  Please don't confirm it was at Colonel Sam as I walked that in the bitter cold and didn't see/hear anything!

marinas all look alike. :)

i was at SS today. very windy. nothing to see except human footprints on the fresh snow that lead to the marina.
so part of me thinks that this picture inspired some (literal) owl chasers.

Thank you all for your comments.

Yes I'm sure for you regulars ar Sam Smith you all can tell that it was taken there. When I was there Saturday I didn't see it around.
I decided to go on Sunday as well and it was pretty slow, didn't see much so decided to call it day. Walking back to the car I figured I'll give the marina another go. When I panned using my lense is when I spotted it. So stuck around for another hour or so hoping it would fly somewhere giving me a better shot. But this is all I came up with that day.

Check out the ONTBIRDS report from Tuesday re: Colonel Sam - sounds like other owls there as well.
