**Description:* *This is a small owl that lacks ear tufts. The Saw-whet has a proportionately large head and prominent facial disk. The color of the Saw-whet varies as far as the amount of cinnamon or red tones in its rich dark brown backside. It has scattered large white spots on its nape and backside (scapulars, primaries, and secondaries). Its crown has fine white streaks and the tail has 2 to 3 broken white bars. Its under parts are white with thick reddish-brown streaks (noticeably more reddish or cinnamon in color than the backside). The prominent facial disk varies in its amount of white in the disk although can be a light tannish-brown. Above bill and eyebrows white sometime referred to a conspicuous white "V" from the base of the bill up and over the eyes (the amount of white in the disk also determines how obvious this is). The bill is black and the iris is lemon yellow.

I will comment tomorrow. :))

He looks so cute nestled in the trees. The dancing light really adds to this.

John I was one of the 5 crazy people out on the windy beach in 20 degree weather. :) a person who was working there told me about the owl and where to go see it. He was at the Greenwich beach and just sitting eye level in this little pine, this shot was taken about 2 ft from him, he just sat there staring at me. Lucky day at the beach. Alison

So difficult to distinguish the owl from the tree branches and leaves, may be just the eyes that helps.
Good capture Alison, thanx for the informative about, bye,
Khaled.
