I’m back at Magee Marsh, a wildlife preserve adjacent to Lake Erie in Ohio. It’s a stopover for migrating birds, especially warblers, as they head to the Arctic to breed and stop to refuel before crossing the lake. But there are lots more birds than just warblers here. 2023 was my last visit here and on our last day, we found an Eastern Screech Owl nestled in the cavity of a dead tree, almost invisible as its feathers blended perfectly with the weathered bark of the dead tree. We had passed it, unnoticed, dozens of times during our four day visit then. Fast forward two years and on our first day, we discovered an Eastern Screech Owl taking an afternoon siesta before it began its nighttime search for food. What a great way to start our visit here, with the same bird species we ended it with two years ago.
