This Little Owl Came to Visit

Last night I was working at the computer when I perceived a sort of brown fluttery motion in the window just in front and to the left. I was startled then thrilled to see a beautiful little owl on the sill right outside!

Ed took a couple photographs, and this was the best one of the three. Kind of embarrassing- if only my window were a little cleaner!

He perched right there, moving his round head full of big round yellow eyes back and forth for a few minutes and then flew away.

I spent a little time today trying to figure out what kind of owl it was. I didn’t see ear tufts, so I don’t believe it was a screech owl. The legs weren’t terribly long, leaving out burrowing owls.

If anyone can identify it, I’d be pleased!
