Wilderness Wildlife Week has four Owl Prowls during the week. Usually a bus transports the group from Pigeon Forge to Sugarlands Visitors Center for a short evening walk. The leader tries to call owls. I've gone twice and never heard an owl but I did hear a guy imitate an owl for an hour and half each time. There is a group which has some owls on display in the exhibitors area of WWW. These owls have been injured, mostly by cars. They can no longer fly and can not be released. Little Dude, the fellow on the right above has been with them only an year and half. He is the only one who will vocalize. When he does do, it appears he is clearing his throat, straightening up and then slightly bobs his head when he hoots.
The screech owls really blend in well in the wild. This guy against the yellow banner, does not.
