OWLS & OTHERS FROM THE NORTH SHORE OF MASSACHUSETTS AND ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE USA

I'm an avid birder and nature photographer wishing to share some of my sightings & images taken while out in the "wilds" of Cape Ann and surrounding New England countryside. More images can be found on my web site at New England Birds Plus Enjoy, Phil Brown

Late afternoon near miss.

A late afternoon drive through town found a well camouflaged Screech Owl roosting in one of the many holes I peek at as I make my way to and from the job site. I had to turn around and go back for a second look after glancing and thinking the hole looked a bit different than usual.


The colder conditions predicted for the upcoming week may push more owls to use cavities for roosting and give me a few more opportunities to share an image or two.

Early Xmas Gift

Santa gave me an early Christmas present this afternoon when he made my phone ring as I was about to enter the CVS in downtown Hamilton. I stepped to the side of the building to take the call and noticed the ornamental Pines against the building. A quick scan (a habit that has gotten me many a weird look over the years....:) and voila, my early Xmas present! Thanks Santa!!
