It's been many months since I last saw a Screech Owl in my back yard, so I was very pleased to hear this one calling a few moments ago.

    Beautiful capture. We have them here but I have yet to get lucky enough to catch one. Magazine quality for sure. thumb.gif

    The Eastern Screech Owl may be small, but it is an impressive little hunter and a beautiful bird.

    Ooooh, awesome captures, especially the first one! clap.gif I want to lift that little owl right out of the image and take it home ;)

    Such a beautiful bird. I would LOVE to have owls (of any kind) in my back yard. Thanks for sharing!

    Very nice Ira, these sure are amazing birds and to have them in your own backyard is sure a bonus.

    Thank you all for the comments. The Screech Owls are a common experience in my back yard at night, however I never see them in the daylight. I wonder where they are roosting during the daylight hours.......

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    WOW what terrific captures. Before our area became overdeveloped, we had nighty visits from 2 of the larger owls. Miss hearing and seeing them.
