Yippee! Not going to win any awards with this picture BUT I went searching for him and with the help of a nice man and his son I found this little guy. I wasn't expecting him to be quite SO tiny, he would have fit in my hand. He was sitting way up in a Red Cedar Tree with little twigs all around him and the sunshine washed out his right side a little bit BUT I was able to see him and at least get a picture. He knew I was there and would occasionally open one eye a crack but just seemed to go back to sleep.
The only downside was the man and his son went on their way while I was taking pictures and when I left I went off trail and got royally lost in the trees for over an hour. Just before dark I ran into a nice lady who pointed me in the right direction.
Outstanding capture and find. It blends in with the surroundings so well that it would be difficult to spot. I've never seen this type of owl before and I just love the markings and color. So glad you found your way before dark. That could be an anxious moment.
Totally award-winning! That is, for spotting AND capturing this sweet little owl. They are elusive and very hard to photograph! Glad you were able to get help getting out of the forest
What an ADVENTURE you went on!!! Yikes! What a remarkable find you have there, and I'd never have guessed he was so tiny! What a fulfilling life you're living there!

Getting lost in the woods didn't sound so sweet though!
The idea of getting lost in the woods does not appeal to me though, so glad you managed to get out of there.
Pleased you got out.
Thank goodness for the lady who helped you find your way out of the woods. Must have been an anxious 45 minutes though.
Finding your way back was a stressful venture.
