Spotted Owl

“Spotted Owl” black and white scrimshaw on ancient walrus tooth ivory by David  Adams. His depiction of birds (especially owls) is as good as it gets. Dramatic rendition on a nicely colored fossil tooth. The spotted owl is a species of true owl. It is a resident species of old-growth forests in western North America, where it nests in tree holes, old bird of prey nests or rock crevices.
