Détails de l'observation

Initially identified to me by fellow birders as a long-eared owl. Upon further analysis of my photos and our inability to see the bird with our naked eyes nor gauge its size, I am thinking this is a red morph of an eastern screech owl ( northern red morph). From the coloring, the white feathers on the wing, the little dashes on the forehead, and the cruddy image of the yellowish semi translucent beak vs the black beak of the long eared owl, I am fairly certain of this identification.
