Hubby saw this guy sitting up in the tree in our yard. He was staring us down. It is so odd how they can turn their head all the way around and never move their body.
He stayed for quite a while as we crunched around on the leaves trying to get closer and closer, then flew off into the neighbors field. I suppose he was looking for gophers. Wish he would have caught some of them in our yard.
I have looked in the bird book and my best guess is that he is a Western Screech Owl. He was a delightful surprise to our lazy Sunday afternoon.
