The eastern screech owl (Megascops asio) or eastern screech-owl, is a small owl that is relatively common in Eastern North America, from Mexico to Canada.

Unlike other owl species, these spots remain separated even when the tail is folded closely together. [12] The beak is light yellow, rather than dark like its relative the northern saw-whet owl. [13] The ears are asymmetrical in multiple bones, which enhances their hunting success. The boreal owl's flight is relatively noiseless and straight. [14]
