Title: Screech Owl
Post by: JW Mills on May 03, 2013, 12:28:01 PM

I've found Screeches in cavities or tucked in deep behind branches but this was the first time I have seen one sitting out in the open.

Thanks for looking.

Nice one John!!
Great to see one out in the open.
You don't get that very often.

What a great picture, you were either very lucky, very patient or both.  I finally got my motorcycle out and on the road so it might be a few days before I get my camera back out again.  I would bring it with me but I would probably just scare all the birds away and spoil it for everyone else.

Great shot!
