My friends, I have heard it is #Owltober. Which means y'all are due for a #BakedBeansOwl update!
Here he is out on a walk. Still looks a bit scruffy from molting but it's starting to come back in.

Beans is sitting on his keeper's glove. His head still looks a bit scruffy and patchy but the feathers are coming back in. As usual he's a but ruffled, glaring at something off camera

An eastern screech owl is perched on an oak branch with his back to us and his head turned to the side.
Eastern screech-owls are a smaller species of owl in Florida and are approximately the size of a robin.
This species has three distinctive color morphs, a rust-red, a slate-gray, and occasionally a brown color as an intermediate. They have a set of tufted feathers on top of their head that resemble ears or horns.
Screech-owls live primarily in tree-dominated habitats such as deciduous and coniferous forests, suburban parks and wooded yards. However, they are limited by the availability of nest cavities, as they do not build or modify their own.

Screech-owls have a broad diet consisting of insects, earthworms, crayfish, small amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. They're very skilled at capturing moths, bats, and songbirds. They primarily rely on their vision to hunt, waiting on a perch for prey to walk, crawl, or fly by. These small owls do not "hoot" , but they do call with eerie whinnies and trills.
Screech-owls nest in tree cavities, nest boxes, and sometimes even in the soffits of neglected buildings. Male eastern screech-owls defend a territory with multiple nest cavities. They are usually monogamous, but males will occasionally pair up with a second female during the breeding season.
Eggs hatch after about 26-34 days, and owlets are ready to fly in another 26-30 days. Screech-owls have been known to carry live blind-snakes to their nest, a snake species that eats insects infesting the nest while leaving the eggs and chicks alone.
