Enjoying the breathtaking view of the sky at the horizon, while waiting for the sunrise, before sleeping all day long.

      This looks like an Eastern Screech Owl. The Eastern Screech can be that beautiful reddish color, while I think all the Western Screeches are just shades of grey, and the Eastern’s cross hatching on the belly stripes makes a boat anchor shape while the Western has thicker vertical stripes and a perpendicular cross hatch.

      They are one of the most common owls of eastern North America. No info was given by the photographer, so here is where they are found.

      This is one of my favorite Screech Owl links that goes over how to ID between the Eastern and Western species.
