Does anyone know anything about great horned owl

[underpressure02]

So tonight I went outside to get something and saw this owl in my yard right around dusk. It let me get about 3 feet away from it before it flew off. I left in my car and came back about 20 mins later and he was standing in my driveway. I got out of the car and got about 3 feet away from it before it flew away up into this tree. Now I grabbed my camera and took some pictures of it and it did not move. Just watches me. I went back inside and then went out a few more times to check and he was there. I just went to dinner and came back and he is still sitting in the tree. Now he will let me get super close to him in the tree and won't move just looks at me.

Are owls supposed to be this tame? I never saw one and it is wierd that he is letting me get so close. Could it have rabbies? I did a google search but can't really find anything that says how close they should let you get. He looks like a baby owl. I will try and post some pics later.
