This was taken yesterday at Fort Simcoe State Park in central WA. Sorry about the low light quality of the photo. Since it's a life bird, could I get a confirmation please. Thanks, Mac.

The owl has been sited in the same building several times by local birders. It is the long barracks building that is roughly S/SW of the entrance, across the parade grounds. It lives in the N/E corner of the building.The park is actually closed this time of year, but you can park at the gate and walk thru the grounds (The sign on the gate even says so). I guess I would be remiss if I didn't also mention the sign warning about Black Bears in the area. Send me an e-mail if you have any questions.Mac

Ha, those are the ugly old grey morphs. I have seen two Screeches, and one was a magnificent red(my favorite) and the other a brown. The red is a very pretty colour.
Good timber does not grow with ease:
The stronger wind, the stronger trees.
The further sky, the greater length,
The more the storm, the more their strength.

Western Screech Owl doesn't have a red morph -- the closest they get is a rusty brown on the west coast.
