There’s something about a screech owl that just always looks so grumpy!!

I feel like he’s saying, “Hey lady, keep on walking! I’ve got one more hour of sunlight and then I’m going hunting!”

    I don’t have cactus in my country. I love to see it in your post. They are much more than the vague image I got on them from cartoons and tiny potted once. They are very much like trees, looking very woody when dried and nesting animals.

    Thanks for sharing <3

      They are very important parts of the desert ecosystem! I hope to someday soon get to go to that part of the country myself and see them in person, along with all the fancy rock formations and canyons.
