History:
The eastern screen owl is a heavily populated species, and has been classified as least concern by the IUCN. In fact, the eastern screech owl has benefited from human development, as farms and other man-made open grasslands allow them to hunt more effectively. Despite its name, the eastern screech owl doesn’t actually screech. Instead, it makes a calm, trembling hoot.
