From Blackland Prairie Raptor Center

The Eastern Screech Owl is a crepuscular species, spending the daylight hours in a concealed roosting spot, which may be on a branch against the tree trunk or in a tree hold or thick foliage. It becomes active at sunset, and so is very easily overlooked even where it lives among human habitation, its nighttime song often the only sign of its presence.

While two of these owls in our Raptor Center’s mew seem to be trying to sleep in the early afternoon, the third one had too much caffeine! Just kidding…we don’t serve coffee, just mice!
