Description
With the help of a good friend, I found this fiery little screech owl peeking out from a blunt-cut tree. I love all screech owls, but there’s something magical about the vibrant orange of this one. It took a while for him to emerge, but as dusk settled, he finally appeared, one eye watching the world with quiet curiosity. Protecting habitats like these is crucial; screech owls rely on mature trees and hidden cavities, and conserving these spaces ensures these small but mighty raptors continue to thrive.
