 Eastern Screech Owl
   Otus asio


Status:

Occasional

 SP, S, F, W

Eastern Screech Owls have not been observed on campus in recent years, but they are secretive and nocturnal and are probable residents. One owl that was observed several years ago was seen in the daytime recovering from a presumed window-strike outside of John's Hall. These birds have been heard calling several times at the Bunched Arrowhead Preserve in nearby Travelers Rest, SC.
