For owls that are superb.

From Matt Sorum

New Northern Saw-Whet Owl for me this year. Another special find yesterday.

I was navigating through some tightly grown trees, so my attention wasn't really on expecting to see an Owl. When I got to the opening, I turned my head left, and this little one was staring right at me, about 3 feet from my eyeballs.

I think my eyes were just as big, as it was so unexpected. :)

Thanks to you and this community, I can now recognize a Saw Whet when I see one.

I need more pics of White Faced Scopes for the inevitable rematch next year, though.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for more WFS!

You have some good sources of dedicated owl photographers, that's for sure.
