Bob Stevens: So that is what a Saw Whet Owl looks like
Bob Stevens: Stop looking at me!!
Bob Stevens: The pictures look better if the photographer's eyes are open
Bob Stevens: Much better!!
Bob Stevens: And the owl tries to look this big to scare you
Bob Stevens: My talons may look small but they can hurt
Bob Stevens: Looking up at the Saw Whet
Bob Stevens: Yes, you may pet me
Bob Stevens: After you are done, can I take a picture of you?
Bob Stevens: Imagine if your face froze like that
Bob Stevens: Don't look so afraid, I won't bite
Bob Stevens: That is it, hold me gently
Bob Stevens: I am part of the family picture
Bob Stevens: The indignity of being upside down
Bob Stevens: Come on lady, stop talking and get me out of here
Bob Stevens: I hope that is not a barred owl on your head
Bob Stevens: Wouldn't this be great for Trick or Treating!
Bob Stevens: What big eyes you have
Bob Stevens: Measuring the wing chord to determine gender
Bob Stevens: Can I hold this one?
Bob Stevens: Imagine how cool this would be for show and tell
Bob Stevens: Getting ready to release the saw whet
Bob Stevens: Will she fly away when I release her?
Bob Stevens: My tongue sticking out means I do not like this or you!!
Bob Stevens: Getting ready to determine the age
Bob Stevens: The darker feathers are new and the lighter ones are old
Bob Stevens: Talking about the eyes and ears
Bob Stevens: Yes you may pet my back
Bob Stevens: Holding the saw whet
Bob Stevens: Staring intently so the owl does not escape yet
