What Colors are Owls?
You can find fine patterns on rufous in arid tropics, and in humid tropics, you can find deep course patterns. Although a single gene determines the base color, the various kinds of owls like screech, scops, or whiskered ones can be grey or rufous. In the deciduous forests in America, the red phase of the screech owls may be found often. As there is a blend of summer and autumn, you can find blends of reds and browns.
