Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 176

I decided for this round to have FREE THHEME which all of you like very much, but this time it's going to be with a TWIST. You might wonder what does it mean? Well, I would like not to see your picture of a bird. I would like to tell me what makes you feel excited about it.

It goes without saying the photo must be yours. To capture a bird maybe exciting each time and yet, if you are like me, you will know how it feels after seeing it on your screen.

My example photo is of a Scops Owl. I am in love with the owls and when I have the rare chance to see any of them let alone to photograph with decent quality, that is a reason to celebrate. But when I have another rare chance to see a whole family of five, resting during the day in the park, that is the greatest excitement for me. The sight of the owls among the leaves, blending with the tree bark is so fascinating.

Here is the baby, one of the three. More will follow in a separate post.
