Voted 10/10 | I don't think I've ever seen a young owl before, or an owl photo on SP for that matter! Great shot!

Hasn't voted | This looks like an adult Northern Saw-Whet. They only grow 7 or 8 inches long - same size as a baltimore oriole. | | Posted Aug 16, 2007 1:50 pm |

Hasn't voted | I shot this photo at around 10k on the NF of Big Pine Creek trail, the eastern approach to the Palisades. This little guy hung around our camp for an hour or so. | | Posted Feb 4, 2008 7:16 pm |
