STOPS ALONG THE WAY

EASTERN SCREECH OWL (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

46 Comments

 

We took a walk recently along the edges of a local reserve; we haven’t walked its trails since Covid struck, the place is packed with people. The crowds must have driven this eastern screech owl out of the park and close to where we were walking. We’ve only seen these owls in daylight and usually looking half asleep 😏 .

    I love owls! This one has cool little ears. You have to be skilled to photograph them because they seem to hear everything and fly away at the slightest sound. Well done!

    Good portraits. Owls often look so sleepy.

    Owls are one of my favourite birds. Sadly they are not easy to see

    Good eye to catch this owl, Belinda – they are so good at hiding in plain sight!
