Just in case anyone wanted an update on the owl I posted about yesterday: News of the juvenile owl traveled quickly through the neighborhood block. A few houses down, one of the neighbors informed us that this lil guy had been a resident of their tree, it has quite strong branch coverage and is a perfect, twisty spot for an owl.

As for ID, I'm leaning towards Western Screech, but could be Eastern a bit out of the usual territory. Who knows, just glad he's learning to fly, and hope we don't have to rescue him from the pool cover again !

Thanks everyone!

My dad found this lil guy on our pool cover this morning, wanting help identifying owl out of curiosity, and also next steps-- figure we should attempt to at least move him to solid ground, but not certain. Any advice appreciated!
