Screech Owls eat a variety of small mammals, such as rats, chipmunks, mice, and shrews. They have also been known to eat insects, Songbirds, and small reptiles and amphibians. An Eastern Screech Owl diet would consist of the animals found in the eastern US, while a Western Screech would consume the species found in their range in the western US. Eastern Screeches may also eat small fish.
