These pictures of the father grey Screech Owl and mother "red morph" Screech Owl were taken this evening as they perched in their usual positions. The father has been a permanent fixture in the tree behind the nest box for 3 weeks while the mother moved out of the nest box about a week ago as it was getting a bit crowded. She perches where she can keep an eye on the nest box during the day and occasionally makes a quick trip back and forth to the nest box. The male is smaller than the female and seems to be the strong silent type - hardly moving or changing expression all day long. The female is on guard duty! Neither of them seem to mind too much if their picture is taken.
