The chickadees outside my front door were screaming away at something while I hurriedly put on my boots, and with the aid of my infrared camera I soon found in the spruce tree a screech owl tucked away in the thick boughs. Not an easy thing to see -- in fact, I could never get a view of its face, just its lower parts, and hints of ear tufts (on which I based my ID). New yard bird -- or yardish (since it could only be seen from the sidewalk outside my unit).
