This little guy surprised us by flying down and landing right in front of us while we were walking in a dimly lit forest. We are not sure if it is a Western or Eastern Screech Owl as both are commonly seen in our area and we only got a couple of photos before he flew off further into the woods. A nice little surprise on a summer afternoon.

….such a wonderful photograph, and how it so perfectly illustrates the way its feather patterns mimic that of the tree being perched on.

Excellent catch. Their camouflage is so incredible they can be near impossible to photograph. 👏👏👏
