Thank you to The Estes Park News for using my Red Morphed Eastern Screech Owl as this week’s cover shot.
Lovely shot, but sadly I didn’t notice any article about it in the newsletter, just local town business and such.

The camera loves you, baby!
Cover girl?
You should have seen her grandma back in the day.
“Clever Girl.”
Put your hand near the Screech and it will act just like that raptor! 😅
Perhaps offer a succulent cracker or dead mouse and your hand will fare better than the poor game warden?
The owls have never eaten in front of me, but if I’m quiet and unobtrusive, the hawks often will. Some of the crows will come right up and try to beat the others to the meaty bits too.
A pro po (sp?) of nothing, I just by happenstance discovered my apartment neighbor has a ball python.
Barely related beyond ‘uncommon pet’, but uh… I guess sorry, my dead mouse is now allocated to the danger noodle next door =P
Sneks gotta eat too. Owls eat sneks. I’m sure a snek would eat an owl, though that I’ve never seen.
Apropos (s is silent) is what you were looking for.
Its a fairly young and thus not yet huge constrictor, but given the relative size of what the owl in the image seems to be… yeah I’d give about even odds to either winning or it being a draw with mutual retreat.
But I’ve also never seen a constrictor and a bird fight each other, so I’m not really sure at all.
Maybe there is some kind of TierZoo video about this, lol.
Also thank you for the spelling correction =D
