Not long ago Birding Buddy Mark (not that one, the other one) was kind enough to let me know that a juvenile Red-morph Screech Owl was in the owl box at Seager Park. It’s been over a year since we saw an owl there so I wanted to check it out; Mark suggested going late in the afternoon so I went there about 6 PM. Sure enough it was there!
I took a couple of pictures and wanted to send Mark one but I had a hard time deciding which one was better. Take a look at these two almost identical pics and let me know which one you think I sent. You might want to look at the pics on a larger screen (not cell phone) to see the subtle difference.

He combed his hair in the second one!
His left eye is more open in the second picture.
I would pick the 2nd photo as it appears slightly sharper than the first. It is a very close call and I had to really enlarge the 2 to see a difference.
My guess is picture 1!
the 2nd one – the wider eye was the deciding factor for me .
