The Western Screen-Owlets were performing their usual daytime function in Lithia Park. They were lazing about, snoozing mostly, and decorating a couple of trees. Their inherent cuteness (as long as you are not a mouse) does not go unappreciated by observant passers-by.
Today’s tally: three in the nest tree, one in nearby laurel.
