b. Originally North American. Any of various small New World owls which have a wailing rather than a hooting call, belonging to the genus Megascops (often with distinguishing word); esp. a common owl of eastern North America, M. asio (more fully Eastern screech owl, †little screech owl).Formerly placed in the genus Otus with the scops owls of the Old World.Some early instances (as quot. 1670) may refer to the barn owl (see sense 1a), which is also present in North America. In the source of quot. 1737 this is clearly distinguished (the American screech owl being erroneously identified with some other European owl, perhaps the scops owl, Otus scops).
