A screech owl is a small owl species found in various habitats across North and South America. Known for its distinctive vocalizations, the screech owl derives its name from its piercing calls that resemble high-pitched screeches. It has excellent camouflage, with plumage that can range from gray to reddish-brown or even yellow, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Despite its small size, the screech owl is a skilled predator, feeding primarily on small mammals, birds, insects, and occasionally reptiles. It is a nocturnal hunter, relying on its keen hearing and night vision to locate its prey. The screech owl nests in tree cavities, using old woodpecker holes or natural hollows. It is a solitary bird, except during the breeding season when pairs come together to raise their young.
