I was walking the path along the Ashley River at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens and there he was, on broken limb directly over the path.
Based on the fuzzy look around his head this is likely one of this year’s owlets.
I passed underneath him and got a nice view looking back as he worked on some personal grooming.
A wider view shows how easy it would have been to miss him amid the dangling Spanish Moss and how closely his color and pattern match the tree limb.

A nice find! Lovely photos.
Thank you, Rebecca!
They have a good camouflage, lovely pîcs !
One less turn of my head and I would have missed him for sure! Thank you, Gwennie.
Nice shots 😀😀
Thanks!
So theatrical with all the Spanish Moss! Love it.
Thank you, Liz, so glad that it appealed to you!
