Paranian screech-owl

The Paranian screech-owl (Megascops asio parania) is a small owl that is common throughout Parania and is considered one of the most common owls in the continent. The species is larger in numbers in areas with a plethora of trees and woodland but can be spotted in flatter and brushier areas as well. 
== Distribution and habitat ==
The Paranian-screech owl is found in most of the countries in Parania as well as the northern portions of Jabala and Mecirhan. Screech owls inhabit open mixed woodlands, deciduous forests, parklands, wooded suburban areas, riparian woods along streams and wetlands (especially in drier areas), mature orchards, and woodlands near marshes, meadows, and fields. They try to avoid areas known to have regular activity of larger owls. Screech owls are common in places like the Isle of Chark, Windsure, Cagneux, The Borogoves, Apelchem, and Lobevia in the west and Chuliana and Naliland in the east where their terrifying screeches were the root of many legends in the 15th century.
