Today, let’s dive into the fascinating sounds that Newton, our ambassador Eastern Screech-Owl will try and demonstrate. Eastern Screech-Owls have two main calls: A descending, almost horse-like whinny, which they use to defend their territories or an extended trill on a single pitch, which is used to attract mates and stay in touch with family members. (This is what you are hearing in this video) While these little owls are common and thrive in suburban neighborhoods, it’s important to note that they are declining in some parts of their range. You can listen for their distinctive calls almost anywhere in the U.S. east of the Rockies! Tune in and appreciate the beautiful sounds of nature! #OwlSounds #EasternScreechOwl #WildlifeAwareness #NatureLovers #BirdsOfInstagram #Conservation | Sweetbriar Nature Center
