Glad to hear someone mention a brown phase as I've seen more than one that
you could describe in no other way.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Screech-Owl color phases
If you birded Ohio years (and years) ago, you may remember Laurel Van Camp.
He was a game protector in Northwest Ohio and later a wildlife naturalist
at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area. Laurel did a lot of work with banding
screech-owls and actually wrote a paper, titled The Screech Owl: Its Life
History and Population Ecology in Northern Ohio
Unfortunately I don't have it handy but he talked a bit about the percentage
of the different color phases, not just red and gray, but also brown. If i
can remember where it is, I'll take a look. I'm not sure whether its
available on the internet. It was an excellent paper, worth reading.
Laurel was a wealth of information.
