While birding I came across an Eastern Screech Owl, red morph high in a tree cavity. It was cold day with sunny skies and a high of 16 degrees by noon, there was some wind up to 10 mph. Image was taken on December 4, 2025.

Gorgeous sighting! You sure know where to look! Wonder how many times we walk right under beautiful birds gazing down at us?!
