December 2011: Eastern Screech Owl (Aegolius acadicus) The wood moved again, blinked even. It was an owl, an Eastern Screech Owl! Not such a rare bird in the east, but who ever sees them? How often do you see any wild owl? These wonderful and the littlest of the eared owls come in two color morphs, a bright rusty red and the grey phase of this bird. He or she (anybody’s guess) is about 8" tall. © Copyright Phillip Augusta. All rights reserved. |
