Eastern Screech having some breakfast.

Looks like it's doing a bit of molting as well.

I'm not a morning person either :)

Would it be breakfast or dinner for the little guy? I looked up when they sleep, but I got distracted by this photo: sleeping in sunshine

That is exactly my face when I have to sit under fluorescent lights, too. Poor li’l screechie.

He needs some owl shades

Those lights were invented by the devil.

The problem with mornings is that they happen too early in the day

Forgot who said it (John Cleese?) but they're right 😁

Omg, that's how I feel after a night of hard partying now that I'm old.

That's an amazing case of full body bedhead. Also I too would be grumpy at being woken up. Sleep is precious!

Screeches seem to get the best(worst?) molt-head!

This little guy, Otis at my park, Weird Alice at Raptor Trust, they all look like they flew through a twister!
