From Paul Bannick

Western Screech Owl (Megascops kennicotti) A Western Screech responds to the setting sun by beginning to move to the entrance of its new roost cavity. > As the first of the fall leaves hit the ground, North America's resident (non-migratory) owls, such as Pygmy-0wls, Northern Spotted, Barred, Barn, Great Horned and and Eastern Screech Owls are fully independent from their parents and attempt to move into their first home-ranges, which include everything they need to survive including roost cavities.

Beautiful. Happy roosting Mr/Ms Screech!

I like the rich colors on this person's photos. I feel the camera people would say they are too saturated, which is probably true, but unlike it as it looks a little different from normal.
