the owl was in a ravine behind a friend's house. barred owls come there every summer - in westerville. some people have commented that it may be a cooper's hawk...or a female harrier. my only problem with the cooper's hawk i.d. is that is was brown - and juvenile cooper's hawks have heavy vertical brown streaks on their breast, but this hawk was very light underneath with faint horizontal bars... that's what makes me unsure.

Jessica,
Thanks for the pictures.  I was surprised to see the pictures of the baby owl.  Did you take all these pictures at Blendon Woods?  It’s hard to tell from the picture but I’m thinking the hawk may be Cooper’s Hawk.  Has any one else commented yet?
