No Pat, he was out in the forest where I shoot. I almost missed him. I have been told there are many in this area but first one for me. JIM

This looks like one of the Northern Saw-whet Owls hanging out at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary near Ladner, BC. They are such heavy sleepers that it is easy to get good shots like this.

Very feathery - could fill a whole pillow.
Good captures Jim.

Smug looking little devil - what a character. Nice job, as always.

Nice capture Jimbo.The only time that I ever saw an owl on my property was the day after my father-in-law passed away.The owl stayed in the tree for several hours and then disappeared.They say that owls have something to do with departed spirits.--Gives one pause to think.-----charliezap

an amazing opportunity and you made the most of it... such interesting birds and I love the way you have captured his expression!

That second shot is my favorite Jim. These are such hard animals to capture and you did a fine job.

Interesting story Charlie. Sorry to hear about your dad and I too have read something about wild animals stay around once someone has passed away on a farm. JIM

He just sat there and didn't seem to worry about me all at. I think they are used to people in this area. visitor
