I'm going to guess that that's a fledgling Eastern screech-owl. I'm not sure about the ID, but I am sure that that's just the cutest thing ever.
I think it's Joe Pesci -"I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?"
I also think that is a fledgling Eastern screech owl; I guess my mom needs to let me get on here and see the mystery bird earlier in the day! I am basing my guess on the pale bill, head shape and downy plumage.
It's sooo cute! It's an Eastern Screech-Owl, based on location. Oh, and the yellow bill.
Kool post. No matter what, somethings will always remain mystery.
In fact, I myself have been trying to solve the mystery of the legend that forces you to have "earn it before having it", for a wile now. Could not understand much though.
Let me know in case you get to understand the mystery of the Old Hound and the Legend
By the way, good writing style. I'd love to read more on similar topics
