Adventures with Mel and Syd

Adelaide was observed 1:10am in a one legged stance for 6 minutes.

Hunter

Sydney arrived to the box with a dinner treat 10:53pm and went in the box.
 Both Adi and Hunter were startled when Syd approached them. They beak snapped and Adi was scared to the point of almost falling over, (look at her feet) LOL.
 The critter had a long tail and Hunter gulped it down quickly.

She stayed on the porch keeping the kidz company for 1 hr 12 minutes. She left 12:07am and later returned again to the porch searching the skies.


Do you have a hard time trying to identifying which owlet is which? It can be difficult for even the long time viewer. If you look closely, they're really is a sure fire way to know and it's all in the face.
Hunter's has an overhang of feathers over his eyes and it can appear like he is scOWLing. Adi's facial disc is much more open and flat compared to Hunters.
Can you see the difference in this picture of their face and figure out who is who by the clues?
Hunter is on the left and Adi on the right.
