This fellow came out to our oil and gas production platform and promptly thinned out the resident bird population.

How far out over the water did this owl have to fly to visit you guys? Did you get many birds flying over from the coast or was it mostly sea birds coming to the platform?

I got several photos of this guy; he didn't seem to mind me.
