Observation details
Previously reported. Today, on chimney at 6406 Saipan St. Similar in size to Great Horned Owl. Overall, almost pure-white with extensive and dark brown-black tips, spots and bars. Round head with furry white face, yellow eyes, and short black beak. Legs and feet were fully-feathered. Long black talons protruded beyond the feathered toes. The owl stayed perched on the chimney the entire time. It changed position a few times, yawned, alternated between sleepy and alert expression, and otherwise seemed oblivious to the crowd, traffic, and a noisy garbage truck.
