I find early morning is best, just as it starts to get a little light. The contrast in the trees is great. "Usually", once you find them, they hang in the same general area. Barred owls and Great horned owls seem to like big pines (for the most part), usually hanging near the trunk (but not always). Screech owls seem to hang in cavities of old oaks, and cherries. The seem to like to show themselves in the bight afternoon hours. I assume to get warmth. Once spring/summer comes and the leaves start popping it gets harder and harder to find them
