My photos of the bird on that post, taken mid-morning, show whitewash and what appears to be one or two dead small mammals atop the post. This might be a favored roost. I parked in the glycol facility parking lot, then walked the median back toward the owl to avoid stopping on the road. The owl let me get to about 50 yards before it flushed.

The bird sat there for quite a while as I stopped in the middle of the road to take some quick picks, there was not really any place to pull over where I could get any pics. I made four passes and got some good close up shots. Now I am on my way to Prescott to try and get some pics of the harlequin.
