John, I have a question that hope is not pedantic. You referred to ‘grey phase’ EASO in your note. As you are the owl expert, can you clarify, is this really a ‘phase’ or a ‘morph’? I thought they stayed either grey or rufous (born that way), not phased into different plumage colors. Not calling you out, just wanting to learn! ChrisP
