POTD - Eastern Screech Owl
As I pulled into the driveway around 11pm last night, I noticed something sitting on top of the garbage can. I put my truck's headlights on high-beam and saw that it was this small owl. I was ecstatic since I've never seen an owl around here, let alone in my own backyard! I ran inside to get my camera, then came back out and turned the high-beams back on. The little guy was still sitting there. He stayed for several minutes allowing me to get several shots. This photo is not a crop, but is the full image captured - that's how close I was able to get! The image is quite noisy but it was a moonless night with the only lighting coming from my truck's headlights, so I'm pretty happy with it.
