A small screech owl sitting on an outstretched glove in profile, looking intently at something off the bottom left of the image. He's a beautiful tan brown color with a dark chinstrap of feathers outlining his face. He has a mostly hidden line of white feathers travelling down the the top area of his wing which is folded back, and a dark edge of feathers along the bottom edge of the wing. His eyes are very large and round. In the background is a work desk and related items.

Hi friends. New #BakedBeansOwl pic!
Dunno what he looking at, but I'm sure it's important.

The drop-off. Pretty efficient.

A similar image to the previous one, but now Beans is looking to the right (away from the person whose arm he's sitting on) presumably towards the baby penguins. He still looks like the most offended owl in the whole universe. His ear tufts are straight up and he's leaning slightly backwards, away from the chicks down the hall.

Y'all, #BakedBeansOwl is still so angry. How dare those penguin chicks come in and be cute?!?!?

A 10-inch tall screech owl perched on his handler's glove. He looks so incredibly upset. His ear feathers are sticking straight up, his face feathers are all sticky out, to the point that his head looks as big as the rest of his body. He's glaring daggers at the camera as if it has insulted him in the most egregious way known on this earth.

LOOK AT THIS OWL! HE IS SO UPSETTY!!!

There are 2 baby penguins who are staying in a pen in the hall. They're also going to be ambassador birds, so all the keepers are encouraged to pick them up and cuddle them multiple times a day to get […]

A small owl perched on a glove. It's facing forward but looking to the right towards something behind the camera. It's ear and face feathers are all sticking up in alarm. The owl is a tawny brown with white patches on its face and chest, and smaller dark patches on its chest and wings.

My friends, as it is Superb Owl day, I would like to show a more recent picture of Baked Beans, taken back in January. He now has his adult plumage and is quite majestic, particularly since he's all sticky-uppy. He was being taken past the gorilla play room and […]

The tiny screech owl, Baked Beans, sitting on a horizontal pole covered in fake grass. He is staring angrily at the camera. He has very large dark eyes with golden rings around the edges. His face feathers look like he has white eyebrows and is glaring angrily. His head is an orangy tan, and there's a dark line of brown ringing his neck. His front is mostly white with dark brown streaks.

Hi folks. Would you like more #BakedBeansOwl content? Because good news! We have more Beans pictures!
Beans is fierce! Beans is majestic! Beans is maybe 7 inches tall!
Don't mess with Baked Beans.

A very small, unbelievably cute screech owl baby. He's old enough that his feathers have recently come in but he's still developing his adult coloration. He has enormous dark eyes and a light brown mask around them. His belly is a wavy pattern of white and light brown. You can't see it, but his back is a little darker, the color of baked beans, which gave him his name. He sits in the corner of a painted cinder block room on top of towels on the floor, with a water bowl next to him

Hi folks,
So my sister is a zookeeper and takes care of the birds. She often sends pictures.

This is Baked Beans. He is a baby screech owl and is being raised for the zoo's ambassador bird program.
I would die for Beans.

They trade off taking care of the kids. Sometimes there’s a schedule miscommunication. House too full! 🦉❤️🦉

Lucille was HONGRY. That’s a BIG mouse!
A good reminder that if you want visits from healthy wildlife, don’t use poisons or pesticides.

🌎 Eastern screech owl (Megascops asio) The eastern screech owl or eastern screech-owl, is a small, nocturnal owl found in wooded areas of eastern North America. It has two colour variations: reddish-brown, and gray (pictured). This owl is known for its distinctive trilling and whinnying calls. It preys on small mammals, birds, and insects and nests in tree cavities. Five subspecies are typically recognised.

⚖️ Did you know a group of #owls is called a parliament? This parliament of #screechowls isn’t holding back their verdict. With those intense stares, you’re definitely being judged. The ruling? Unknown—court is adjourned, and they’re not giving a hoot!🦉

Sitting on eggs is boring. Lucille has to poke her head out & see what’s what & get some fresh air.

This eastern screech-owl was found tangled in netting. Luckily, a kind person called us for help! 🦉
With some feather loss & minor swelling, it's now recovering in our flight pen.
Fun fact: #screechowls come in 3 colour morphs: grey, red, and brown—helping them blend into tree bark!

More Superb #Owl Sunday. These are last year’s baby Western #ScreechOwls.
Terry & Dark Terry were a joyous gift. We got to watch them learn to fly. 🦉🦉❤️

He’ll sit and stare at her lovingly a lot, too. He *seems* to worry.

#leroyandlucille #screechowls #nestbox #birds

Our Western #screechowls disappeared 1/14. I was really beginning to worry.
They’re back and duetting. Might be baby time soon.

Starting to think they're called Screech Owls because that's the noise you make when you finally see one haha. #owls #screechowls #westernmass #wildlife #wildlifephotography
