I was surprised to discover that the last bird post I did was April of last year. How the time doth fly. I certainly haven’t forgotten about it though, and have art in progress.
The little Eastern Screech owls(less than a foot tall) have a very interesting call—which is not actually a screech. Sound clips can be heard on allaboutbirds.org.
They can be either of the two colors pictured above…
“Gray morph”…
or “Rufous morph”.
If you here a mysterious sound in the night, it might just be one of these cuties!
