Dori,
The red phase Screech Owl is indeed deceased. Unfortunately, it flew into the front grill of my car early in the morning. I donated the bird to an ornithologist for study.

What happened to the screech owl? That poor bird is dead. Its poses are unusual. Its right eye in pic #1--it's separated from the socket.

Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am impressed! Very helpful info specially the last part :) I care for such information much. I was seeking this certain information for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.

Maria, Great Gray Owls are an impressive sight! The one I saw seemed quite impervious to me and several other people watching it sit on a low branch searching for prey. I think it was more likely after small rodents than your turkeys.

I saw a great grey OWL. I'm quite certain because i was less than 6 yards away. it was perched in a leafless black oak tree @ 3 yards away and about the same up.... looking down into my pen of heritage breed turkeys. I was very nervous and he/she seemed not the least bit perturbed by my efforts to herd my turkeys back into there house (they were even more sanguine) but have become less worried after i thought about it.... i saw its swoop down on something and think it was one of the many voles. I'm in Peterborough NH.

I am looking at a Barred Owl in my backyard woods today during the late afternoon heavy winds sitting on a branch for over an hour. I believe it is a Barred Owl.

I envy your documentation of your owls here, LD, after my two years of birding. I saw the GHO for the first time this past week (on the Gulf of Mexico). The Strigidae seem to have a preference to be near water. My brother lives in Salisbury, coincidentally.
