Whiskered Screech-Owl

[Walker Noe]

I photographed this owl in Madera Canyon, Arizona, May 2017. It was resting peacefully in its day roost, and my friends and I felt lucky to stumble upon it.

Postprocessing: usual sliders, crop for comp, sharpening on bird, NR (now that I look again it looks overaggressive) on BG and tree.
