Northern Saw-whet owl - a photo on Flickriver

            I broke a lifelong jinx today when, with some help from other determined birders, I was able to see two tiny Northern saw-whet owls on Ryer Island in the Sacramento-Jan Joaquin River Delta. The bird was absurdly tame, and was too close and too densely hidden for a telephoto shot.  I got this photo with a tiny digicam held just a few feet away.  I promise I'll never bother this bold little owl again.
