Watching me

although I was behind our fence. They are nocturnal birds and try to sleep all day.

[Issi Bannerman]

Ah, didn't realise they were nocturnal. Lovely capture.

[Yao RL]

Your bird photos are so rich in varieties.

[Christina]

He certainly has his beady eye on you!

[Babs]

He is watching you

[Kathy A]

He's got his eye on you

[Susan Wakely]

Looks relaxed but fully aware of its surroundings.

[narayani]

Lovely feathers

[Beryl Lloyd]

So stunning in their speckled plumage and sleepy eyes !

[Mags]

Beautiful feather details and light.

[katy]

This one does look a little sleepy eyed

[Jerzy]

Now this looks like a bird we could find in Canada with very little colour.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

He doesn't look very happy. Cute capture.

[Dorothy]

I agree with Jerzy except add US.
Is this a female?

[KV]

Beautiful detail.

[LManning (Laura)]

Looks rather suspicious!

[Beverley]

Such a lovely photo… I think he’s just watching you…

[Tia]

Great expressive face

[Christine Sztukowski]

Lovely bird

[Heather]

A great capture of this squat cutie! Super detail with its plumage! Fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

He's giving you a dirty look because you disturbed his nap!

@illinilass I can only tell when they are next to each other Dorothy, the male is a bit bigger and darker ;-)
