Taken in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula.  Blue jays mobbed this owl, waking it up, and alerting us to its presence.  Image taken from ground level - for an unobstructed view.

I really like the setting for this owl- nice warm colors, nice habitat, and a beautiful clear view of the subject. Such a nice mood created.
