 A little screech owl who has lived in a tree across the road from the main entrance to the "Dollywood" theme park for over 3 years now.
I had gone riding around with my son, and had only my camera and 18-70mm zoom, so this was the best that I could get with only 70mm hand held. It's cropped to about 1/4 of the original image.

I love how he's framed by the great swirl in the bark.

LOL, I love the caption! He's so camoflauged by the tree how did you notice him? To me the tree looks like a man about to swallow the owl.

The texture in the tree is nicely captured. I like how the owl and tree share some of the same reddish brown tones.

Looks like a snoozing owl. The little screecher looks great in the tree.

What a fat little cutie! Hi Waddy! Fancy you here - good to see you. :o)

Great capture of this cool bird. Love the texture of the tree, too. If you relax your eyes, it's almost an abstract.

Hey- welcome back, Waddy ! This is so natural- a nice little niche the scheecher has there. I love the bark texture.

He looks very comfortable in his little shelter. Nice textures in the bark of the tree.
