My contributions for this weeks Winged Wednesday are owls.
Northern pygmy owl (Glaucidium californicum ) is a small owl of western North America. I have dozens of photographs of this owl. While climbing over logs in a clear-cut in British Columbia, this owl landed 3 feet from me. I had to back up to take his photo. I am certain that I stirred up some rodents and he hunted unsuccessfully near me for 20 minutes.
The Great grey owl (Strix nebulosa ) is a very large owl. This owl was photographed on the same day as the pygmy owl. The photo was taken in the late evening light, perhaps semidarkness is a better description. I was happy with the photo as it was my first photo of a Great grey owl.
Eastern screech owl (Megascops asio ) is a small owl with an oversized head. The roof drain pipe was ideal for nesting... as long as it doesn't rain.
