With a wise and thoughtful expression, this handsome bird is the Western Screech Owl. As the name implies, he can be found in the Western United States. What is unique about this bird is his brown paint has a bit of a beautiful purple tint to it and his belly feathers are outline in red instead of the usually black paint. His feet are painted white with black talons. A wonderful example of a bird hand-painted and carved by Yoneguma and Kiyoka Takahashi. Accompanied by original card and box.
