We picked up a screech owl call recently on the Merlin bird ID app, and my wife was so jazzed I think she’d love one. It may have just been passing through as it’s the first time we heard it. There’s a GHO that lives really close but I’d love to see if we can attract a little cousin here.
A Barred owl isn't! I was camping this summer. The first night I heard a screech owl around my campsite. The second night, I heard a Barred owl. Immediately, I hear a screech owl call in the same direction. Then I hear the Barred call a little way off. Followed immediately by the screecher. Then again a bit farther of the same thing....That tiny little Screech Owl was chasing (escorting?) the much bigger Barred Owl out of his territory!!

Aw yes, the famous judge you owl. beautiful lol
Wtf do you want?
So what is the owls temperament tonight?
unfortunately he has not returned :(
That’s a superbowl indeed!
That’s the same face my cat makes when I sneeze
Why is everyone seeing them except me ugh. Nice!
You lucky dog 😊❣️
Hoo?
So sorry, I hit down vote! I didn't mean to. Bumble finger.
I love that face with the feather ridges from the tufts to the beak.
Is that an owl box it’s perched on?
It's my hurricane shutter, I do have an owl box in the backyard though, hopefully he moves in!
Any recommendations for where to buy a box?

The GHO might be too scary for a screechie. GHOs prey on smaller owls quite often.
Also, I don't think GHOs go into boxes, they're too big.

"What is with all this damn light!"
Said in Walter the dummy's voice (Jeff Dunham)
In my defense the porch light was already on when he showed up!
And now you have a new best friend???
Fingers crossed he makes it a habit!
He's there trying to find out how many licks did it take you to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.
The Owls are not what they seem
Spot the difference

Cool! What kind of owl is that?
Eastern Screech Owl!
Thanks!
“You dare approach me on your own property? The audacity.”
he is not very happy about you doing this
That's a very dracula shadow he's casting!!
I was thinking Batman but he's not mammal.
Adorable!!!!
