I had heard the Eastern Screech-owl many times in my life (although not here at Middle Way) but I had never seen one. I finally got a glimpse of one when in the evening at dark, it slammed into a window (which I did have bird reflectors on). I was HEARTBROKEN! However it seemed to have eventually flown off, and I hope it survived. It was the worst feeling. What I did learn about them is how small they are. I’ve included the photo below to show you. I think an apt size comparison that I’ve read is definitely “no bigger than a pint glass”
