OWLS

Photographer and DISCOVERER of not one, but TWO screech owls =
BRUCE YOLTON.

We've been looking for weeks. Bruce discovered an owl two weeks ago, but when its tree was pruned it abandoned that site. Then began a search for the owl's new daytime refuge. On Saturday Bruce found it, not far from the original [pruned] tree. Much to everyone's amazement it turned out to be TWO [count 'em, 2] screech owls sharing that roost hole. And guess what? For Central Park owls, breeding season is right now.
