Screech Owls- Fond Memories

Photo by nebirdsplus via Flickr  I've been hearing them again. Source  Eastern Screech Owls. My little night-time friends aren't very big- just 6 to 10 inches tall. They are red (rufus) or gray in coloring but either way they're just about impossible to see in the wild, even when perched at the opening of the tree cavity where they live.  Photo by
