WildLife Wednesday – Screech

By

1-15-2017-hootScreech has been spending a great deal of time here during the milder weather. He’s so used-to us that he didn’t open his eyes but a crack when we were in the barn. It gives us a big smile to see this fine-feathered friend trust us enough not to fly away whenever he sees us. I’m glad we didn’t disturb his nap.

Screech has been visiting our barn from time-to-time since 2013. It’s possible that he was there before then and we didn’t know about it. I did a quick search on screech owls and discovered that the oldest one they knew of out in the wild lived to be 14 years and in captivity they could live to be 20 years. Thankfully, his life span is a lot longer than I would have guessed. Hopefully, we’ll have many years of his visits ahead to enjoy.

Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday!

Wishing you all a Wonderful Wildlife Wednesday!

 

*I apologize for the grainy quality of my photos & video. I took them through the kitchen window and it has a screen. I was so happy to see the deer that I had to take photos/video to share with my husband. We’ve both been worried that the deer had left our area for good because of the saw-wielding neighbor cutting down a huge chunk of the woods. We’re over-the-moon that the deer are still in our area.
