tOtus asiob

Length, about eight inches. Our
smallest owl with ear tufts. There
are two distinct phases OF plumage,
one grayish and the other bright
rufous
Range: Resident throughout the
United States. southern Canada, and
northern Mexico.
Habits and economic status: The
little screech owl inhabits orchards,
groves, and thickets, and hunts for its
prey in such places as well as along
hedgerows and in the open. During
warm spells in winter II forages quite
extensively and stores up in some hol-
low tree considerable quantities of
food for use during Indictment weather.
Such larders frequently contain
enough mice or other prey to bridge
over a period OF a week or more.
With the exception OF the burrowing
owl 1t is probably the most insectivor-
GUS Of the nocturnal birds Of prey.
II feeds also upon small mammals,
birds. reptiles, batrachians. fish. spid-
ers. crawfish. scorpions. and earth.
worms. Grasshoppers. crickets. ground.
dwelling beetles. and caterpillars are
Its favorites among insects, as are
field mice among mammals and spar
rows among birds. Out OF 1924 stom-
achs examined. 1863 were found to con-
tain insects: 1872. small mammals: Sc.
birds. and Is. crswfish. The screech
owl should be encouraged to stay near
barns and outhouses. as 1t will keep
in check house mice and wood mice,
which frequent such places.

harvest mice. kangaroo rats, and cot.
