23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
A screech owl begins a night of hunting.
This little screech owl came out of a cactus just as the sun had set. It popped up into the hole of the cactus, looked around and then flew to a nearby bush just briefly before disappearing into the night to hunt for food.
