NICE! Looks like you are face to face with this Owl. Your photo has grit, I like it
Nice mimethism (feather colour) 
Great Catch - he looks sleepy!
Nice shot! Except for the eyes he/she looks like part of the tree!
Nice shot. How in the world did you find it? Great example of natural camo.

Thanks everyone! The owl is at the same tree that it was at last year - and it's easy to find the tree once you know where it is. I went over to the tree when I read on eBird that other folks had found the owl recently, and when I first got there, no sight of the owl. After five minutes of waiting, it popped out. Here's an uncropped version of the same photo.

Go hug and tickle the tree and they will show up out of curiosity

I recently put up a screech owl box in hope of a pair taking up residence in it and doing some posing for me. So far, nothing's in it but this great shot has got me checking it more frequently. Fingers crossed.
Great image. Camouflage is wonderful.
Nice shot!
