Title: Eastern Screech Owls and Owlets
Post by: cosmo3667 on June 05, 2013, 04:34:57 PM

Been monitoring a nesting location for awhile and they have fledged and were located in some nearby Maples making photographing them very difficult, but being a windy day it both helped and hindered the process and timing of the leaves & Branches moving out of the way & giving a view of the owls was key.

Nice find.
Great to be able to watch them grow up. Not something too many people ever have the chance to see.

My husband and I are active birders but have not yet seen any Eastern Screech Owls.  Where is it that you are able to observe these darling little birds?
