This is Frederick. Last night he decided to make his temporary home in our rafters. He was there for about six hours (I think). A beautiful bird, the picture doesn't do it justice. I've never seen an owl like this in the city, only out in the woods or while camping. It is a screech owl, cousin to the barn owl. Eats small rodents and insects. That look on its face though, is very piercing.
He's back tonight and perching up there once again, my guess it that he's staying up there to stay warm. With all the apartments there's plenty of heat in the building.
