    Photographed this eastern screech owlet in a longleaf pine nest cavity checking out an airplane passing overhead. It's amazing how well owls blend in with their environment...which is why they are so difficult to find.

    I am curious as to your views on what I consider a different take on an owl.

    I had to look at this one for a while to find out what is going on and I find it a very interesting shot for this reason. The chick looks like part of the tree and the eye almost looks like part of the BG. Love it. I a sure you will be returning to this spot, Marina. Thank you for sharing.

    WOW, great find! They are so hard to see, and this image does a great job of telling why! Nice natural perch, great background, I would love to see more of the eye.

    What a great find for you Marina. I like the pose and the BG a lot and the details look nice and sharp. A good looking different frame of this cute little guy. Looking forward to some more of your other owl images
