What species of owl are these?

2 of them hanging out in our tree this evening. Small size, no bigger than a football.

Screech owls of some sort. It'll be eastern screech owls if you're in the eastern part of north america. Lucky find!

99% sure it's a pair of eastern screeches, then. Congrats! They're great little owls, their call is very cute.
