A quick question regarding Sooty Owls. Does anyone know if they darken as they age? Saw one on Saturday night in Royal NP (south of Sydney) which had a very dark back, but extremely pale face (seemed almost white in the spotlight). This is the best view I have had of Sooty Owl (the other was a brief flight glimpse), but it seemed much paler than the two Lesser Sooties I have seen up north. No doubts about ID, but has anyone else seen pale Sooties or have any ideas on aging.
Cheers,
Peter
