Female Eastern Screech Owl Megascops asio

Pulling up her pant legs and seeing hairy legs. Actually she was biting around the brood patch. She was sitting nearby on a branch because the babies inside the nesting box got too big. Once babies hatch, the male is always within 20 feet of the nest, on guard. The female stays in with the babies until they get too big and then you can see both parents in trees close by
