Last Wednesday Ted Keyel was visiting the Ashland area and found a red-morph 
EASTERN SCREECH OWL just east of town. Ho-hum to most of you but an 
extraordinary find along Lake Superior, marking our first-ever sight record of 
this species in the Chequamegon Bay area and .  It was initially sitting on a 
log house but was later flushed by some mobbing jays and chickadees. 
Thankfully, Ted and I were able to relocate it.

Coming from the south, Ted was a bit disappointed what he thought might be a 
Boreal Owl turned out to be "only" a Screech. But I think he left realizing 
this was an even better find. Probably the most awesome bird I've seen in 
years. Thanks Ted!
