When I saw an owl leaning out of the bird's house, I couldn't believe my eyes, but as I came closer, I realized that I was not mistaken.
At first, I thought I had met a Great Horned Owl but later I learned that an Eastern Screech-Owl was looking at me curiously from the round opening of the bird's house.
Eastern Screech-Owls readily accept nest boxes and also use birdbaths and will visit them to drink and bathe.
Dozing with a half-closed eye, fluffy and so charming.
Suzzane Labbe thank you very much for helping me to identify the owl!
Generally, life is good.
Drôle de rencontre.

El viernes estuve viendo un buho entre otras aves, en el Mercado Ibérico Romano de córdoba.
ReplyDeleteFeliz domingo.
Hello :) You were confuse because it looks very similar to Great Horned Owl but this one is an adult Eastern Screech Owl (Megascops asio). They often nest in duck's boxes. Nice catch.
ReplyDeleteMerci Suzanne, Kaya appréciera tes connaissances de cette science.
