These incredible pictures were taken by photographer Graham McGeorge, 42, in Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia.

I see YOU: Screech owls are quite common across North America but they generally go unnoticed

They have either rusty or dark grey intricately patterned plumage with streaking on the underparts, helping them to blend in perfectly in their woodland homes.
