I watched it catch a bird very quickly. It came flying in up and over the hedge and quickly grabbing a sparrow. It was really difficult to get a photo of its tail.

Observed on the North side of the Chiricahua Mountains in Southeast Arizona.
Many Thanks to the birding enthusiasts in Portal and Paradise, Arizona that helped us find and photograph this Owl especially when we couldn't find it the day before (we were looking way too high up in the tree canopy). This was a Lifer Bird for both Karla and I ! ! !
