Description
Photographic artwork by Cindy Treger. Photographed at Hershey Gardens in Hershey, PA. This female eastern screech-owl was injured and unable to fly, so it ended up at Zoo America in Hershey, PA. Hershey Gardens was hosting a program for homeschool children and three owls from Zoo America were part of the program.The eastern screech- owl is a small owl that is relatively common in Eastern North America, from Mexico to Canada. It is a short, stocky bird, with a large head and almost no neck. Its wings are rounded; its tail is short and square. Pointed ear tufts are often raised. They live in open mixed woodlands, deciduous forests, parklands, wooded suburban areas, riparian woods along streams and wetlands, mature orchards, and woodlands near marshes, meadows, and fields.
