This is one of the many species of owls mon@rch and I have captured over the years, it is a migratory owl passing that passes threw western New York in the fall and early winter. Shouldn’t be to to hard to figure out but sometimes can be tricky.
Hint: Black lights are a way of telling how old the bird is
You can get bonus points if you can figure out the age of the bird! (May help to figure out species first)

Welcome everyone to the birdQUIZ blog that will help you with your bird identification skills. Feel free to use any kind of reference you have available for your identification (Sibley’s Field Guide is recommended)!! Good Luck Everyone!
If you need spoilers click on the comments but I strongly suggest that you try to identify the bird first before moving down to see what answers have been given already. The person who commented could be wrong!! Most or all of these birds have been identified in the hand already and we know the answer (unless we say we don't know the answer).
