| Female Red Morph Eastern Screech Owl about to fledge. |
The largest and oldest of the three owlets hatched on April 10th and left the nest this morning (May 10th) right on schedule. This is no doubt the eldest sister of the three and she will grow into a Red Screech Owl judging by the coloration of the feathers around the eyes and the pigmentation of the eyelids - taking afterher mother. This owl has quite a personality and we got to know it well. She spent most of the last 4 full days in the box looking at the outside and us with great fascination - the feeling was mutual.
