Came upon this little guy last Sunday on one of my usual trails. He/she was tucked away in a cedar tree making it extremely difficult to get a clean shot. Thanks for viewing.

Hi Rock, I was using the 100-400 L IS. I've attached a close-up of this guy for anyone who wants a better look. Thanks for viewing.

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p

Awww-love that first one. He's a real cutie. How in the world did you find him? I've been looking for owls everywhere!

Great shots and soooo cute!! I've got a stiff neck from looking up into trees in search of some owl, any owl. Sawhets are just so neat - lil' pocket owls!

Well done.

Awesome shot in a difficult situation. Thanks for sharing it. I too am trying to find one of these. They're listed as Common here but I've yet to find one. Do tell... how does one go about locating these little cuties?

I would like to take the credit for spotting this guy but I can't. It was actually a family on the trail that stopped to feed the chick-a-dees. I think it was the young girl who happened to look up and spot him buried in a cedar tree. I happened to be walking by at the same time.

And thanks Bob, Mitch and Sally for your comments they are very much appreciated..
