Description
I attended a private Saw-Whet Owl banding night with a local avian research group. We caught one owl (twice). I released her the first time, where she flew to a high branch. After her second release, she hung around down low. The bird is being lit up by a headlamp rather than camera flash.More photos, including a cool look at UV lighting on the feathers can be found here: www.digibirder.com/blog/2015/1…

I love how the color of the owl's eyes picks up the color of the leaves in this shot!

It's always cool when the eyes are brought out by something in the background

She must have liked you if she allowed herself to be caught twice. She's adorable.
