Is an owl - that is as much as I know.

Any one able to identify it properly?
Can be found here.

Having looked that up, looks like you are right.
I will stop referring to it as the banjo playing owl in the cabin in the hills

Thanks

Possibly

Would not say it is a long-eared owl from the face even though they are natives of region.

It looks like an Eagle Owl to me - those large yellow eyes, but I don't know if it is indigenous to the region. The face is wrong for a LE Owl.

Could be a Great Horned Owl. They are native to N. America.

If you pull his head hard hard enough you can just about do it

Just as well you didn't, that would have been blatant click fishing
