He kept on getting flushed into the knothole by nuthatches.

Caught him on his way back out to see the light of day.



Here's another angle:

Dude i am so jealous.  i literally risk my life every day that i have a job in the country when i see some knarly old tree with a hole in it i am looking to see if i see a screech hiding in it instead of looking at the road.  But i never see one.  We need to have a east vs west friendly owl competition.  The Barred on Halls or the Lambton Screech.  I think i am 6 for 6 now for going to find the barred.   Everytime i go lately i find him.  You just look for the 5 cars on the side of the road or the ten photographers standing in the woods.
