This is a Barred owlet.  I have them almost every year in my window wells - they spend 1-2 weeks learning how to fly and they always wind up in my window wells while doing so.  I will put a broom with rags wrapped around it and stick it in the window well later, so he can get out.  I'll try and capture a video of it as well.

Barred owls are territorial and non-migratory.  Their territory spans 213-903 acres. There are 640 acres in a square mile so a bared owl's territory can be anywhere from 1/3 to 1 1/2 square miles. Barred owls form permanent pair bonds. Courtship begins in winter near the eventual nesting site. Barred owls are non-migratory and territorial so it is likely they can be found nesting in the same tree if it has proved suitable in the past.Barred owls like to get a jump on other species by nesting early. They lay 2 to 4 eggs in February or March. The eggs are brooded by the female and hatch about 4 weeks later. Barred owls leave the nest or "fledge" four to five weeks after they hatch. As they are unable to fly at this point, this stage is often called "branching." The owls move out onto nearby branches.
