Eastern Screech Owl Sounds (Their TWO haunting calls!)

Call of the screech-owl Eastern screech-owls are active at night and are far more often heard than seen. Turn the volume way up and listen closely… then watch the owl’s reaction to another screech owl calling! These owls vocalize frequently, so learning to identify their call is a great way to know when one is near.

Happy Talon Tuesday! Eastern Screech Owls use sound to communicate across long distances. While you might expect them to screech, it is more likely you hear a descending whinny or a soft trill. This low trill is often heard in a duet between partners. Watch and turn up the volume to listen closely as our grey Eastern Screech Owl, Baron von Screech, uses his whole body to produce his song!
