This little fellow, a fledging Western Screech Owl showed up this afternoon out of nowhere.
It was on our neighbor Dave's driveway, and the AT&T man (who was repairing a squirrel-chewed telephone line) put the owlet on a limb and out of harms way.
Neighbor Dave told neighbor Richard, who told me, and I grabbed my camera and snapped these photos.
Seeing a live owl or a young fluffy like this always makes my day.

You lucky dog!!!!
Great shot! What a pleasent opportunity to share. How did things work out for you guys on Sunday at the pre-camera trap course set-up.
Sean, we finished setting nearly a dozen cameras on Sunday, and the drift fence cams worked out well, despite our doubts. But of course we'll have to wait to see what happens there.
Nice photos Codger!
Nice shot, cool looking owl
Nice photos -- don't see many young ones just out of the nest cavity.
Chris how fortunate you are to get that opportunity!
There may be a nest nearby?
How long did the Owl hang around?
Good timing Chris and what a fine opportunity!
Did you find the nest?
