	Birds, Familiar: Eastern Screech Owl, Life Histories of North American Birds, A.C. Bent
		Screech owls have been known to nest in bird boxes, set up for that purpose on trees or buildings, and they would probably do so oftener if given more encouragement; a little sawdust or excelsior in the bottom of the box is quite to their liking.
		The mouth of the Screech Owl, while hardly to be compared with that of the Whip-poor-will from the standpoint of size, is, nevertheless, relatively large or wide, and the hair-like feathers of the nasal portion of the facial disc probably perform the same insect catching function as the enormously developed rictal bristles of the Whip-poor-will.
		Screech owls are ordinarily quiet, gentle birds; they can be lifted from their nests or roosting holes without offering any resistance; they may indulge in ominous bill snapping but seldom use their claws, which are sharp as needles.
