Ooh that is significant difference,
I saw couple of almost pure white from previous posts, so owl from this seemd to have more specks.
But this is night & day difference in not only quantity but size also.
Young ones are like polar explorers in fur coat with snow goggles (like black eye piercing trough tiny holes).
They're not all quite this different, but it's much more of a visual clue than we get with most owls.
The babies are so cute. These and the Saw Whet owls look so different between baby and adult.
