Question

What types of owls are in Georgia?

Answer 1

Just the ones at the Atlanta Zoo.

Lol.  Just kidding.  

I live in Georgia, too, and I know that the screech owl is probably Georgia’s most common owl.  In fact, screech owls commonly live in both rural and suburban areas as long as they can find open woodlands or backyards dominated by mature hardwood trees.

Answer 2

I'm not to sure, I've seen a couple different ones flying around here and of course I hear them at night out in the distance.

Answer 4

Barn Owls, Great Horned owl is the classic owl

Answer 5

The screech owl is Georgia’s most common owl.  

In rural locations the screech owl may range over 75-100 acres.  However, in suburban locales its range is sometimes as small as 10-15 acres.  The size of the owl’s home range is determined largely by the availability of food.  Ranges tend to be smaller where food is most abundant.

Hope this helps.
