A couple of shots from a rainy, dull, late afternoon:

Moira ... Wow, those are awesome photos.  I especially like your first photo!  Just read about this owl on the ONTBIRDS site earlier this evening.

Thanks Jo-Anne.  I read about it on ONTBIRDS too.  I went once before and didn't see him, but he was back today.  He's in a tree on someone's front lawn.  Lucky people!

Moira,
These are beautiful.
I think I would probably walk right by this guy if I didn't know he was there.
What great camo.
I have read about this owl in Cannington and wondered if it was worth the drive there.
After seeing you fantastic shots I have decided it is.
Thanks for posting these they are great.

Beautiful shot, I like the first photo, you would have to take a second look, because he blends in so well.

Just read a report on the B-Mail that it got injured and has been taken for rehab.

JTF:  That's disturbing news.  I just saw him late yesterday.  I guess that's the postive part of being in such a public spot - someone has got him help.

I just read the same report
See below:

"We drove to Cannington this morning to have a look at the Screech Owl, but it was injured last night on the street and is being picked up today for rehabilitation.  Thanks to the landowner who has taken in the owl and called for help"


Moira, you are right, if the owl hadn't been in the neighbourhood he may have likely perished.
Hopefully it'll be OK.

Oh No! re: injured.  :(  This is very upsetting news.  

What do they mean by "on the street"? ... hit by a vehicle? attacked by an animal?  other?

I'm also curious to know where he/she was taken for rehab.
