🌎 Eastern screech owl (Megascops asio) 

The eastern screech owl or eastern screech-owl, is a small, nocturnal owl found in wooded areas of eastern North America. It has two colour variations: reddish-brown, and gray (pictured). This owl is known for its distinctive trilling and whinnying calls. It preys on small mammals, birds, and insects and nests in tree cavities. Five subspecies are typically recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

So I have a live 24/7 stream on Twitch of my Eastern Screech Owl nest box. The same breeding pair (Eliza and Alexander) have been returning each season for the past several years. Currently, the four owlets are getting close to fledging. The oldest two (hatched 26 days ago) are already peeking out the door. Here’s a clip of one getting fed by both parents in rapid succession:

2 days and the 4th appears this morning. Notice the size.
This will produce the runt. Most runts in Raptor nests only serve one purpose. Especially if the food gets scarce. #OwlsofMastadon #EasternScreechOwl #owls

Eastern Screech Owl catching some zzz's at the local park. It was nice to find an occupied nest box. #birds #owl #EasternScreechOwl #BirdPhotography #Nature

An owl with reddish feathers. It has poked its head out the nest box to get some sun. The owl's eyes are mostly closed.

I went to lock up the chickens at sunset and the backyard was ringing with Robin and Cardinal alarm calls. I gaze-followed the death stares of the Robins and peered into yew branches until I saw a tiny but fierce face peering back. #EasternScreechOwl #NJBirds

The frame is full of green evergreen bows, and in the center is a tiny red owl with “ear” feathers and dark “eyebrow” markings that give it an angry and ferocious expression.

I think this hole was meant for a redder morph

My little friend is napping in the snow :) Blurry photo because I don’t like spooking owls and haven’t got a huge lens. #Owls #EasternScreechOwl #Birds #TorontoWildlife

Two nights later, same time, and now I'm hearing an #easternscreechowl calling. ID'd this one using the #Merlin app.

January is owl month here in eastern Ontario!
