Properly Thrilled

I just got home tonight about 9 o'clock. I park the car by the mailbox to retrieve the mail. As I get back in my car and move slowly forward I see a large bird moving from one hack berry tree that lines my driveway to the next. What is this big bird?  Is this the Cooper's hawk I have seen several times in the past two weeks again? As the bird lands in the second hack berry tree it swivels it's round head and I look into the deep brown eyes of a barred owl. The owl takes off toward the south. This is the first time I have spotted an owl on my property and I am properly thrilled.
