He/she is a Western Screech-Owl, probably foraging for small animals in the Sammamish River riparian-forested habitat.
It's pretty amazing I can walk 20 minutes to this little guy's home; and walk 20 minutes from my home in the opposite direction to urbanized Downtown Redmond.
Ingunn is an excellent writer and photographer. She has a fascinating blog about motherhood, trail running & hiking:
