A screech in the night
camouflaged in the forest
pint-sized predator
Notes: The eastern screech owl is a tiny yet magnificent bird. They have a distinctive call, and while they may be small, they are fearless hunters. There are different colour morphs, but I have depicted, above the more red/orange variety. I love owls. They are a hoot.
