    Default Owl ID

    I took this in December on a very rainy early morning trip to Squamish BC.

    The owl was sitting quietly on a branch of a small tree in what I would say is a brackish tidal bay at the mouth of a small river. The area around the tree was flooded from high tides and/or rain and snow melt run off.

    I think the size would be about the same as a Barn Owl or Short Eared Owl. It was not very big. It was raining quite hard and everything was getting soaking wet so I did not stick around but I think I have the size correct. It was not very big.

    This looks like a very unhappy Long-eared Owl Dave. the long tufts and the brown facial disc are my basis for this guess.

    Agreed that it is a Long-eared.

    Thanks Dan and Paul.

    I can certainly understand why it was unhappy.
