After Richard found this Owl I changed my normal routine. I now walk past this tree both on the way in and on the way out of the Woods.
In the last two weeks or so I have passed the tree eight times and have only seen the Screech once.
I think these two shots show how well he blends in with his tree.
Good spotting Richard!

nice find John,

This little guy eludes me.
I'll just keep trying. I don't mind wasting the day there. There is always lots to see.
Very nice photos.

Meg

Thanks Richard.

I have only been doing this for less then 2 months and have so much to learn.

Please excuse my ignorance on such matters.

BTW I did follow your osprey sighting and walla saw my first one the other day. Thanks for that too.

Yes, very cool. Parked at the church and walked in and took a couple of pics as well. One even took off and got a couple of bifs too but the distances were too big for really good shots.
