A little night visitor
Katherine knocked on my door at about 1 in the morning to tell me there was a little owl sitting on the tree by our deck. Just sitting there, not moving. He was still there when I went out to look, and posed very politely for a photo before taking off. He (she?) was only about 8 inches tall. Is he cute? I've never seen a wild owl this close. In fact, in my 51+ years of life here on Long Island, I've never seen an owl at all!

OMG what a great picture.I have not seen one in the wild either.
Great job.
I looked him up and it seems he was an Eastern Screech Owl. Apparently, if they're spotted, they freeze solid and hope you don't notice them!Which is how I got such a good picture, LOL!
Wow...what an awesome sight AND you got a picture!Wonderful!

We have an owl at our farm. I can hear him when I wake up at night. Call me crazy, but I've always felt like he was watching over us. You know, just keeping an eye on things!
I think he's looking at you saying "oh, you caught me!" Sort of a funny look.
Fantastic picture! What an awesome site to witness!
