Eastern screech owl

Eastern screech owl in roosting hole.


It probably isn't the same owl that has been using this roost May 2019.
We have seen a grey phase screech in this location for 4 years running.
According to Cornell Lab of Ornithology -
The oldest recorded Eastern Screech-Owl in the wild was at least 14 years, 6 months old when it was found in Ontario in 1968, the same province where it had been banded in 1955.
