For the past four days, we have been visited by the noisest Eastern Screech Owl I have ever heard. For an hour or three at dawn and dusk he doesn't shut up, and drives the pup nuts. Maybe it's the full moon that is doing it?
I have always been fond of these little owls, but they are rarely seen, just heard. I hope this guy sticks around.
Here's a sample of their calls, but their calls are more varied than that.
If you want to bring a Screech Owl family to your neighborhood, put up a nest box. They will find it, if you have any in the vicinity. They don't mind suburbia at all as long as they can find open places to hunt. We like the Coveside products. Of c
