This little fellow, an Eastern Screech-owl, perched on our suet chunk between 4:30 and 5:30 yesterday afternoon (Feb. 24). We thought maybe he just wanted to get out of the wind as we didn’t see him pecking at the suet, unless he was attracted by the many small birds in the vicinity. It seems unusual for a screech owl to be out in the daytime although the light was beginning to fade… note the dark bill.
