Description
The Eastern screech owl is tiny compared to other owl species and difficult to spot. This image was captured in Springfield Township, Hamilton County, Ohio.
This robin-sized nightbird is common over much of the east, including in city parks and shady suburbs, where many human residents are unaware they have an owl for a neighbor. The owl spends the day roosting in holes or in dense cover, becoming active at dusk. Despite the name, screech-owls do not screech; the voice of this species features whinnies and soft trills.
