STOPS ALONG THE WAY

EASTERN SCREECH OWL

32 Comments

 

For the last few springs we’ve seen solitary screech owls in the reserve we visit. We’ll spot one in a tree hollow or on a nearby branch. As much as we checked this year none were about on our walks so I’m featuring an owl from 2016. The owls seem to favour the deep woods, and the leaves create quite a colour cast which I corrected in Lightroom using White Balance.

    No wonder they are difficult to see with such wonderful camouflage.

    What a beautiful owl and how lucky to sometimes see them. Is it relatively small?
