More Info: The Eastern Screech Owl is a permanent resident of north Texas and is the most common owl found in north Texas. There are a number of color morphs in Screech Owls ranging from red to gray.

The Eastern screech owl is strictly nocturnal and for this reason they are more often heard than seen. During the day, they usually spend their time in a tree cavity or old woodpecker hole where they will occasionally be harassed by small birds if their presence is detected.
