Another bird...

The front yard has large English walnut trees along the street and there has been quite a ruckus lately with a few starlings. We were sitting out on the front porch this evening and spotted what the immediate ruckus was about. An owl has taken up residence in a hollow of a branch of a big walnut tree. Last year, in the summer, we noticed a pair of owls up there and this is the first sign of them this year. I got out the long lens and tripod and still managed to get blurry photos. The owl blends right in with the tree and through the viewfinder it was hard to get the focus just right. I could also go on about camera shake, but that might get boring.
Here are a few photos.
