About the Photo

Screech Owl (Otus asio). I snapped this photo last winter about a block from my home. At first I thought this was a piece of trash along the road but was amazed after slowing down to identify it. It allowed me to get within ten feet for the photo. It also remained in place enabling my family to see it when they arrived home. Though I was concerned that it was injured it eventually it flew away when it got dark.

The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds (eastern edition) explains this bird's behavior:

"Screech Owls are fearless in defense of their nests and will often strike an unsuspecting human on the head as he passes nearby at night. When discovered during the day, they often freeze in an upright position, depending on their cryptic coloration to escape detection."

That last sentence made me laugh. This bird must have thought he was camouflaged even though he was standing in the snow along a moderately busy road. It was a real thrill to see a bird like this in the wild.
