The Eastern Screech Owl will start to nest in March. This is because the rodent prey, that the adult owl feeds their young, is plentiful and easy to catch.
Even though this owl is nocturnal, it can see quite well in the daylight.
The ear tufts on their heads can be raised and lowered, at will.
As with all owls, they are more often heard then seen.
