Ruth,
Both the red morph and grey morph occur near the boardwalk at Sugar Hollow Park.
At this latitude, the ratio of red morphs to grey morphs is about 5 reds to 1
grey (5:1). In very northern climates, the red is almost nonexistent. We also
have a brown morph. A brown was sometimes seen in a tree hole near the end of
the bridge to Osceola Island (Weir Dam).

Mary and I were at Sugar Hollow park about 4 this afternoon and saw a
red-phase screech owl perched on a small tree by the boardwalk where it
branches off to the dam. It was about 10 ft. above us and seemed unafraid. I
guess this is the usual resident there. It's always nice to see an owl in
person.
