Last night I turned on the deck light and was just about to go out to fill the heated birdbath when just 6 feet away from me, I spotted an Eastern Screech-owl on the lowest branch of the spruce that grows beside the deck. It was up against the trunk of the tree looking down at the deck. I will often scatter seed there when the platform feeders are apt to be covered in snow. That area stays clear because of the spruce. There may have been something of interest to the owl under the deck eating seed. It dropped down and out of sight.
