Title: Eastern Screech Owls on a private residence
Post by: Rob'in'To on March 22, 2011, 04:11:35 PM

Ran into a co-worker the other day outside of work, who had a friend of his with him.  In our conversation, the individual made mention of a pair of Eastern Screech Owls living at the back of his property.  So, I was invited to come have a look and take a couple photos.

These are quite cropped as I kept my distance.  The one didn't have a care in the world; but the other was aware of our presence which prompted me to cut the picture taking short.  Not that there was much more to photograph...  a sleeping Owl and another one looking back at me.

Rob ... I love your first photo!  8) Super cute and having a good sleep.  Owl in photo #2 looks really p.o.'ed!

Nice! Nice to see in the second shot he/she's all stretched out.

I didn't notice the second one at first (who was closer), but when I did...  I backed away.  It never flew off which is good or I would have felt pretty bad.  Funny the difference between the two, eh?

Beautiful, I especially like the expression on the second one. I keep hoping I'll find an owl of any type (other then the few I saw in owl woods)

Hi Rob, great stuff, I'm jealous! The  second shot is classic.
You don't see them stretched out like that very often.

Pretty neat what this individual has living at the back of his property, eh.
