I live in Caswell County, and have been regularly hearing a screech-owl (rarely two) near my home over the past several weeks. Last night I heard one through an open window north of the house at 4:00 a.m. I have entered the observations in eBird in the NC Bird Atlas portal. I have not seen the owls. Thank you!
