eastern screech owl

Another little camouflaged bird that isn't always easy to spot...such a tiny little owl, so always fun and lucky to find one to photograph!

Looks orange to me; red-phase Eastern Screech Owl

Let's look at this owl juan morr-thyme only this thyme with sun and a blue sky. The question-- what does it take to get a sleeping Eastern Screech Owl to open his or her eyes.

I just want to hug this little one. The reality is that just its song strikes fear in countless little birds. Thanks gophish!

Was able to photograph this red phase Eastern Screech due to a heads up tip from a good friend in upstate NY. It was relatively out in the open but so hard to see until you knew it was there. They are such great little owls and the red phase ones are so colorful.

Up until last week, after 10 years of maintaining a photo life list, I only had 4 owls of which 3 were poor quality images. Now in the space of a week I have added two more. A barred owl, which I posted last week, and now a screech owl. This one was high up in a tree with a broken trunk and a...

My Son noticed this Screech Owl in our purple martin house in March. This was about 4 pm and it stayed inside until dusk. It then came out and stood on the edge for a half hour and then flew away!

Here's a pair of Eastern Screech Owls I just finished. Coloured pencil on madium weight, smooth, acid free cartridge paper

Had a visitor from England who wanted this one for his life list. It was no problem,we have lots of owls in our city.

Almost every screech owl I've ever photographed has been in a stinking cavity instead of on a nice perch. I went for more of an environmental shot this time as I'm often dissapointed with the look of the close up of cavity birds.

One of the many Sc owls that live in my area.The birds are very active right now. We see at least 3 each time we go out.

I know it's a classic

This is cropped tighter than I'd like, but it was the only vantage point that provided a clean view.

I had overlooked this series because I thought they looked to flashy. If you can ignore the huge shadow on the right of the bird, I think the expression is cool.

despite the automn background image was taken in the beginning of may. All the family rest in this falling tree for a couple days and later move further each night ( 2 parents and 4 juv.) Originaly they're 7 juv in the nest (2 death). at the moment the picture was taken they're an other one juv...
