Night hike at the park. Top of left tree.
Very rare Alachua county owl. Sighted before during better evening lighting 1-2 weeks prior and numerous reports following. Darker underside of the wings compared to barn owls which are much paler and were seen as well during this outing but they come out after this SEOW. Same flight pattern/behavior as northern harrier which is characteristic of SEOW. In addition you can faintly see the distinct white patch near the wing tips.
Baby Screeh owls observed while walking on the levee on griffin and weston road.
Bald eagles are hunting ducks?
100% nonnative species. This guy seems lost. Fourth sighting over the last 3 years.
