Hey, uh-oh that's not a Northern Saw-whet Owl! That's what I was thinking as I came up to the net near the end of the night recently. This beautiful red morph Eastern Screech Owl graced our nets, after I heard bill snapping as I walked by on a net check. Screech Owls are larger than saw-whet owls, with matching "larger" personalities, and talons! Despite all of that, this owl was easy to extract and was released without even leaving a scratch.
