Great capture!

Amazing capture which is almost impossible to see as it blends extremely well with it's surroundings, Hank. ~V

That’s amazing, I didn’t even see the owl until I read the text. What a cool photo! V

Well caught! BBV

Fantastic image of both.

Bert Ooms 16-Feb-2021 18:00
Fantastic shot! The nuthatch draws the attention away from the owl, that suddenly appears when looking a bit longer. Great surprise!
Best,
Bert

A great shot Hank had to look closely amazing how he almost blends in with the tree
Nice Nuthatch above with a nice sky to back him up.
Nice catch light on the eye and a excellent dual image.
