Now before you go moving this thread, The Bow hunting forum is like my home and i figured more people would be able to enjoy these pics.
So my brother and i were walking threw the woods cutting fire wood and and scouting out for deer. We saw this dead oak and figured it would be a good one to take down. When the tree finally fell, we noticed the top was kinda of dug out. I look in it and this is what i saw starring back at me.. i about crapped my pants! So i grabbed my camera out of the atv and took a few photos. I think its a screech owl but i do not know much about owls. Size comparison would be a little smaller than a softball.
The second pic is when it was right in my camera lense. When i saw it through the view finder of the camera i thought i had zoomed in too much... when i looked up the owl was about 3 inches away from me. I jumped back, slipped on the snow and fell right on my butt haha.
great pics, thats a beautiful bird,i wonder what he was thinkin when he heard the chainsaw start up and felt the vibes on the tree. I'm surprised it didnt fly out. either way, pretty cool, thanks for sharing.
