Another Rare Owl? Scott Hurt Wells' trail cam captures blue owl images 2018-04-05 - Near Cyclone/Summer Shade/Cross Roads/KY 163 - Metcalfe/Monroe Counties - Photo Scott Hurt Wells/trail cam photo. Can anybody help with more information on this bird, caught in a two-photo hunting sequence on a trail cam by Scott Hurt Wells of Summer Shade, KY. The pictures were taken at daybreak he says. It has the coloration of a blue jay, as seen in the second photo. Searching the web, there is a "Northern White Faced Scops Owl" which shares some resemblance to this owl. Scott Wells says he will appreciate any leads, any information. "I've never seen a bird like this one," he writes. He called CM after seeing a bird photo included in a blue owl search, but that picture, Of a Bluejay in Flight, by Pen taken from ColumbiaMagazine.com, was included in an album on one of the photo sharing websites. Bluejays are prey of owls, which may be why the photo appeared there. Scott Hurt Wells told us that, as far as he knows, he's not related to any of the Hurts or Wellses in Adair County. Some of his kinfolks are graduates of Lindsey Wilson he said. But he knows two of Columbia's most famous people: H. Hunter Durham, the attorney; and Bro. Raymond Martin - Scott is a member of Summer Shade Christian Church. Scott Wells and I both hope one of the more experienced ornithologists can help with this puzzle. -EW.
