screech owl
When I was a teenager, my father built and installed a Wood Duck box on the stream right outside my bedroom window. Unfortunately, we never had Wood Ducks nesting in the box, we had Screech Owls. I still remember the first time I heard the Screech Owl’s song which can be described as a whistled whinny. What it really sounded like – the first time I heard it – was the horrible scream of a crime victim. After just a few days of getting used to the screech of my owl neighbors I learned to enjoy their unusual song.
