Screech Owls generally keep a pretty low profile and don't make much noise unless they are defending or announcing their territory and getting ready for mating season. Here is a playlist of some of the best calls from the 2012 season:
But for the next month or two calls are likely to be subtle - a low "trilling" that travels far. You'll know it when you hear it The owls are reconnecting, courting and looking for nesting sites - if they had a healthy, good year their first choice will likely be where they nested the year before.
Screech Owl Calls are loudest when its really time to mate and nest such
as this example from early March 2012.
