Screech Owls! 11/19/2022

I met Carol M. north of Boston today to visit the Red-headed Woodpecker and decided to stop near the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge at sunrise to look for Screech Owls. It is much easier to spot them with the leaves gone and sunrise and sunset are the optimum time to see them at the edge of their holes. We were lucky to spot both a red morph and then a gray morph about 100 yards away in a separate hole. Hopefully they are a mated pair and we can look forward to owlets! Oh, and the Woodpecker is still excavating and hording acorns in the same location!
