20211112 2408 Red-morphed Eastern Screech Owl r1.jpg

Ottawa West

This is the first time I've seen or shot a Red-morphed. It was here briefly last year and I missed it. It has been here, in this nest-hole off and on this Fall and lately seems to be there all the time; however, though I looked for it several times, this is my first sighting.

Nikon D500 ,Nikkor 200-500 mm VR
1/2000s f/6.3 at 480.0mm iso720 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
