This little guy lives in one of the camps we stayed at. He had a sign that said he was the most photographed owl in the world. While I was milling about, probably 10 people came up and took pictures, so I don't think that claim is far off.

These guys are getting rare. They make a very strange noise.

Saw a few of these guys too. Even one inflating his neck as I guess they do to attract a mate.

thanks and yes, the owl was very cute. I love that I got him with one eye open. He was sleeping.
