Somewhere out there is a little owl that is hiding in plain sight. Eastern Screech Owls are probably one of my most favorite Owls just because of their camouflage. I looked right at this owl for a couple of minutes before actually seeing it lol. Taken in Northern Indiana.
Not sure if serious, but if you’re looking on a small device it could be difficult.
I know where it is and my eye still gravitates to a slightly different place, as I talk about in another comment if you didn’t see that. I go into owl camo a bit in that.
Here’s the answer:

I was being serious. Thank you for the assistance! I looked right at it, and sped right by. My eyes told me that those are obviously burl or limbs.
That is exactly what it’s designed to do! Little ones like this Screech Owl can still be eaten by bigger owls or raptors, so they need to stay safe themselves.
Owls live everywhere people live, even in cities, but we wonder why we never see them. This is why! They’re there, they just don’t want anyone knowing they’re there!
