I am taking guesses as to what this is in this photograph. It is a shot that I digiscoped on Sunday, November 9, at Estero Llano Grande State Park near Weslaco, Texas.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Answer and story tomorrow. Good night and good luck!

Eastern screech owl - perhaps the same one Sharon Birdchick posted a pic of on her blog?

Funny, I just read Hugh's post yesterday, so I easily knew the answer. Otherwise, I would have said Whipoorwill or nightjar.
