20211112 2408 Eastern Screech Owls r1r1.jpg

Ottawa West

A side-by-side comparison of the Red-morphed and the common Screech Owls. Both of these owls have chosen a hollow tree in which to roost located within shooting distance of a road, about 5 km apart. This was my first sighting of a Red-morphed. Understandably, it has been well photographed.

Hope they are not being upset by the attention; they are such beautiful little creatures, esp. the much rarer red-morph. Great shots of both.

The red-morphed is so nice!! Easy to understand why he's the favorite :))
