Eastern Screech-Owl - Petit-duc maculé

            One of a pair of breeding residents in the woods around Mud Lake stands guard while its partner remains concealed, on the nest, high above the ground. 

This pair, or one very much like it, spent several seasons in one of a handful of predictable locations around the Lake. And then a Barred Owl moved in. Whether killed or driven off, the Screech-Owls have not been located nearby since. A pair that includes a red-morph has been attracting people a couple of miles west along the River for a couple of months, so the species retains a high profile in the area.
