Observation details
Continuing bird. Present on light pole in front of Cinergy movie theatre. Owl had a white face and collar with horizontal barring on the body and wings and head. Several birders observed the owl for 1 1/2 hours at this location. It was sitting upright on a light pole when we arrived. It appeared to be asleep. A 18 wheeler pulled into the parking lot for a delivery and woke the owl up when the truck blew its horn. The owl was shifting position, raising its wings twice. The wind was strong from the North East and the owl kept its eyes barely open. It flew to another light pole and was crouching forward with claws gripping the edge of the light fixture. Another 18 wheeler delivery truck arrived right below the owl and blew it horn. The owl flew to a building further south.
