Homer Lake Forest Preserve Greeting Card IMG_0647

A northern saw-whet owl (Aegolius acadicus) perches deep in a cedar thicket at Homer Lake Forest Preserve in Homer, Illinois — its enormous bright yellow eyes staring directly into the camera, brown-streaked breast and round facial disk perfectly framed by soft green conifer branches. One of North America’s smallest and most secretive owls, photographed here in a characteristic winter roost, utterly calm and completely magnetic.
