Screech Owl

This screech owl is often seen hanging out in an old Chestnut tree in her home,with nest inside, all different times of day. The tree is located in front of a lumber store office. She does not mind all the customers in and out of the office throughout the day. This year she had three babies. I took this picture in the middle of a cloudy day . I would never use a flash. I was surprised she has has eyes wide open sometimes and seems to be sleeping with them closed or half open other times
