We had a Great Horned owl family on my street when I was stationed in WY. If they could handle that type of weather I'm sure 34 degrees is balmy. We lived just south of Cheyenne, in CO. Some of the worst weather I have ever experienced.
I will always remember how huge those babies were standing in the middle of the road when they first left the nest. That was 25 years ago and I still remember it well.

Couple of weeks ago I heard an Eagle-owl (Bubo bubo)sounds at my cottage in Southern Finland. An eerie hu-huu was distinctive and the bird was not far, about 50m from me. I saw it when another one answered and this bird moved a bit. Its wings are pretty wide; more than 1,50 metres.
The time it was too dark to try to take photos and I would have needed a telephoto lens.

We've been hearing some owls in the swampy area by our creek. They sound like horned owls but could be spotted I guess. I've heard them several times now. Just hope they leave our cats and my little dog alone. I sure hope they eat snakes,too.

It's funny all my life I've heard Great Horned owls and when my wife and I had a home in downtown Erie we had a Screech owl family take up residence next door, but I had never heard or seen a Barred owl. Turns out I only had to drive about 20 minutes away to do so.
You will find a live cam here, http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Barred_Owl/sounds, but before you click on that scroll down a little to hear the sounds they make, they are quite vocal.
