My first owl images!

I spotted this little screech owl while geocaching with my hubby today in Albuquerque. Of course my 300mm lens was back in the car But this little guy sat still for us for a very long time. Not spectacular shots, but a real thrill for me.

Nice Western Screech Owl

Thanks everyone. It was fun!

BH- I wasn't positive if it was an Eastern or Western, according to what I was able to find, the Western are more brown & this was definitely grey. Of course we're in New Mexico, so I figured western would be more likely-- Thanks for the ID!
