Owls Perfectly Camouflaged Within Trees









Photos: Graham McGeorge

If it weren't for their eyes, it would be nearly impossible to see these owls! Photographer Graham McGeorge has taken these incredible photos of eastern screech owls in Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp sitting in holes of trees. Masters of disguise, these owls roost mainly in natural cavities or in ones that woodpeckers make in large trees. Strictly nocturnal, they roost during the day in these cavities and then are active at night, calling out in a whinny-like quality or a monotone purring trill that lasts three to five seconds.

The counselors used to call the vocalizing that we heard a "skunk mating call".

Years later I learned that what I heard were screech owls.
