20100419 446 Eastern Screech Owl.jpg

Ottawa

Posted two images of an Eastern Screech Owl today, an other first for me. A couple of months ago, three of us traveled some four hours to find a reported Screech Owl. No cigar that day. Yesterday we got this Screech Owl right in our own back yard, so to speak. Less than 10 minutes from my house.

I really like this one! Wise old owl checks his surroundings before emerging , unaware that a clever photog is in the wings. V

The little guy disappeared for a week and came back on Sunday and Monday and I think Tuesday as well. Good that you finally got to see it.
