Best Guess Screech Owl

Two of Five near Gage Park, Hamilton, Ontario

My neighbour had 5 of these in her tree and then two of them decided to reside in our tree during the daylight hours.

There was a Robin screeching at them all day, perched nearby.

Around dusk they moved to a lower branch and seemed to be watching us on our porch as they did various jive-like movements with their head in a clockwise fashion before they flew away for the night.

They seem to have returned to my neighbours tree.

We live near Gage Park in Hamilton and the escarpment.
