I tend to think that Mith is indeed the owl. Why? Because her jumpy behavior before her proclamation and her calmness after. This is consistent with my knowledge of her character. I believe goose Glirdan hurt the ducks more than helped. He not only told us of a real duck but he probably received protection last night thus freeing up protection tonight for Mith.
