2/21/22 - WESO - Western Screech-Owl
This was a first in BRDL for me -- I guessed the code, but had no idea what the bird was! The prior guess had been SEOW (short-eared owl) and I knew all the letters were right. So I just plugged them in. I have seen the Eastern screech-owl before, but never the western version. These are tiny little owls - just 8 inches long on average - but you don't want them around if you are a little mouse or a newly hatched bird.
