Test Your Knowledge on Screech Owls!

What do you know about Eastern and Western Screech Owls? Here are some quick facts: 

• Western Screech Owls are socially monogamous, meaning that while they may mate with other owls, they’ll raise their young together.¹

• Eastern Screech Owls are common throughout the eastern part of the United States. Although they like the woods, they can be found in city parks, too.² 

• Western Screech Owls eat animals like pocket mice, shrews, bats, rabbits, crayfish, and snails.¹

• Eastern Screech Owls eat small rodents and large insects like moths or crickets.² 

• Both of these owls are cavity dwellers and will usually take over cavities in trees formed by woodpeckers.^1&2
