I have not seen nearly enough owl species. Hopefully I can add this one this fall in Colorado.

Nice picture.

Andy,
Hopefully you can, I do not know when they migrate south out of Colorado. I love these little guys and although I come across them often, this was the first time I was able to get a photograph!

I saw one of these in AZ about 5 years ago and couldn't get my camera up fast enough to get a photo. I was SO mad at myself! Before that sighting, I had no idea owls could be so small!
