Observation details
We saw it on the pavement in the middle of Whitney Rd with a raven stalking it, so we stopped to protect it. It flew to the nearby abandoned white quanset hut, attempting vainly to get through the window of the door, and then dropped to the snow in front of the door. The raven pursued, but backed off when we came up. After 15 min, the raven gave up and flew off. We gave the owl more room and half an hour later it flew to a resting spot in a nearby bush. We left to do more birding and 20 min later circled back and saw the bush was empty. Good luck, little one.
