Western Screech Owl

I spotted this Little owl nesting in a saguaro cactus while on my morning walk. At first glance, it looked like possibly a rock in the hole of the cactus. I zoomed in and saw that there was this little owl looking out of its nest in the cactus. I wasn't sure what kind of owl this is so I asked friends and acquaintances in my photography group. I was told it is a Western Screech Owl. What a fun site to see this morning!
