Western Screech Owl peeking out of a nest box at early sundown.

Western Screech Owl! A lifer bird for me that I never thought I’d actually get to see. I didn’t stay long after he woke up as he was likely getting ready to hunt. This is an endangered species and rare find, but for any species it’s important to practice #EthicalBirding #ethicalbiddphotography
