Today as I was walking along the Spring Creek Trail near the Fischer
Natural Area in Fort Collins, when I spotted a flicker pecking on a tree
and hopping in and out of a hollow that it seemed to have claimed for
itself.
A woman that I met along the way asked about what I was taking pics of, and then asked if I had ever seen the screech owl that lives on Spring Creek Trail. I told her that I had not, and she proceeded to give me instructions on how to find this owl, which she called Penelope.
Above is a short video of the owl in the tree.
The first time that I headed over to her
tree, she was nowhere to be seen, but a few minutes later I was still in
the area and I heard a walker asking her partner if she could see the
owl. I headed back over, and there she was.

This is what the owl's tree looks like from Spring Creek Trail.
