This little owl is between 7 to 9 inches (16–25 cm) in length with a wingspan of only 18 to 24 inches (48–61 cm). These cute little Owls are found throughout the eastern US and southern Canada and are found in urban as well as rural areas. This bird set up housekeeping in an old broken Oak tree at the side of the winding road that runs along the coast of New Hapshire. The day I got this image the bird had been perched in the sunshine for hours with its eyes closed. I waited for two hours in ten degree F temps (-12C) waiting for it to open its eyes. Just as I was getting ready to call it a day a mob of jays flew in and the Owl opened its eyes for a second before it popped down into the hole. I just love how this bird's coloration just fades into the tree...
