I'm an avid birder and nature photographer wishing to share some of my sightings & images taken while out in the "wilds" of Cape Ann and surrounding New England countryside. More images can be found on my web site at New England Birds Plus Enjoy, Phil Brown

Four Screech Owl Drive.... January 5, 2010

A four Screech Owl day with two seen along Rte 133, one in the center of Essex and the 4th along a side road in Hamilton. Not bad for a trip to the bank on a work day...:) Photos of only two, I didn't take another shot of the Corliss Brothers bird and the owl in the box was a bit distant.

    If you had stopped here, you could have had 5! I've posted a composite photo of owls in our box on my facebook page: john d cushing. Since Oct. 17th our owl box has been in use by at least two Screech owls. The first is probably the same grey-morph owl that stayed briefly during Sam's trip to Ireland in April (both photos on left) and returned this fall. The red morph owl (in the bottom right) arrived on the scene in mid December and has been seen regularly through today. I believe that the owl that arrived in mid October (upper right) was a third distinct individual. I base that belief on observations made over the month or so it was around. Unfortunately, it was harder to photograph because it was rarely visible during the full daylight hours - hence harder to photograph in sufficient light.
