Shutterbug Photo of the Day: “Quiet Down!” by Justin Cale

Our Shutterbug Photo of the Day by Justin Cale is a comical portrait of a sleepy owl safely nestled in the hollow of a tree.

“This little Eastern Screech owl has a wonderful roost in a tree along the Cuyahoga River at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in northern Ohio. I was observing it one more when a train passed on the other side of the river, briefly waking him up. As he cracked his eye open, I could only imagine the thoughts running through his head as he was trying to sleep, ” writes Cale.

This image was captured with a Canon 6D and a Tamron 150-600mm VC lens with a tripod.
