A Pacific screech owl on a fence post at night.

Pacific Screech Owl

Los Chiles

You may not see him, but he sees you! Pacific screech owls are small cousins of the Eastern and Western screech owls in North America. With his wide eyes, little escapes his gaze, especially anything that's edible. An old, mossy fence posts makes a good enough spot to rest on between hunting trips. By the time I got this photo, my two friends and I had already dodged a truck on an unlit road, killed more mosquitoes than I ever thought possible, and stepped around a literal cat fight (as in an altercation involving actual cats). Let it never be said that the non-photographic parts of bird photography are always boring.
