Well, not MY backyard, but my friends' backyard.  Right outside their dining room window!!!!  

 

This Barred owl has been coming to their backyard for years.  We assume it's the same one... 

 

Anyway, it is perched on the hook that holds several bird feeders.  I'm betting that THAT'S his intention:  bird feeding.  Whatever his intent, we're so happy he held still long enough to have his picture taken.

 

LOVE THE BIRDS!!!
