Megascops asio
Short, stocky bird, with a large head and almost no neck. Its wings are rounded; its tail is short and square. Pointed ear tufts are often raised, lending its head a distinctive silhouette.
Hollow of a dead tree in mixed woods next to a lake.

Thank you Jim.
It looks pretty cozy in that tree...nice spotting, Greg!
it looks half sleepy!
Thank you Hema. Seeing them is always awesome...especially when they are small and cute like the Screech.
Cool spotting!! Owls are elusive and to see one is always awesome!
Hi Hema,
