Different angle of my One Day Wonder.
I had spent a couple days of searching….attempting to locate the Screech Owl and to no avail. Walking the streets and checking every possible tree cavity that could be a suitable roosting spot.
Folks that would have seen me must have been wondering what on earth I was doing.
No one asked and the Police didn’t show up….so all was good.

While on route running an errand and glancing at the boulevard trees as driving something caught my eye which seemed a bit off. Being on a residential street I was able to hit the brakes and the 4-way flashers at the same time…grabbed the binoculars that live under the seat and had a look-see.

Surprise, Surprise another Owl…much smaller than a Great Gray for sure. These owls are definitely The Masters when it comes to Camouflage.
The Eastern Screech-Owl had found a comfortable place to roost for the day in this large cavity…appears it may have been a One Day Wonder and haven’t seen it for a couple days.

Maybe time to go and do some cavity searching since it’s likely still in the area…just sayin !

It took mere seconds after I had muttered Wake-up, Wake-up friend Owl for him/her to open its eyes.
Could it be this little owl understood what I was asking it to do…don’t think so but I was glad to see this happen.

There’s nothing more boring than watching a sleeping owl…or like I’ve said before it’s like watching paint dry.
