Re: Sooty Owl on Mt Glorious

Hi Carl,

Did you note the relative length of the tail and the amount of streaking on 
the breast of the Marbled?  These are important characters.  I would not 
have thought that a Marbled would appear more heavy set than a Tawny. 
People with more experience with the species than me might like to comment.
The paler colouration may just reflect the sex of the bird.  I would think 
that on average Tawny males would be paler than Marbled males.
