About the Bird: A little owl with a distinctive voice, the Whiskered Screech-Owl lives mostly at high elevations in Arizona canyons, where they nest in the hollows of oaks and sycamores. Males sing to defend their territory and mating pairs call back and forth in duets. With 3 degrees of warming, which the world is on pace to reach by 2080, they would lose 28 percent of their summer range and likely no longer breed in the United States. The effect on the species' winter range is projected to be more dire鈥攁 loss of 85 percent throughout their habitat in Mexico.
