xoB finds this beaut at Weather Underground. The official cap:

When I was photographing this 5 month old long earred owl named Nemo, he was startled by an unusual sound. As a natural response, he immediately puffed up to a very large size in order to scare off the perpetrator. It is rare to experience this kind of reaction in an owl. Nemo went back to normal size when he discovered that the threat wasn't real.
