22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Eastern Screech Owl In a Tree Stump

An Eastern screech owl in a hollowed out tree. On one of our drives on backroads with our daughter, we were watching the trees for owls. I noticed this gray color in this reddish tree and was pleasantly surprised at the occupant.
