Ken,
I have not seen a roadkill screech owl in at least 3 years. I have however
found 2 roadkill barred owls on US 58 Alt between Norton and Coeburn Va
recently. I don't travel that road often but I did see the two birds in
January; one on January 1 and one on January 24. I also found the remains of
what I suspect to have been a red shouldered hawk on a very out of the way road
in Wise County Virginia between Wise and Pound. The bird's remains were along
the road near an illegal dump close to a defunct surface mine. I have no
hypotheses for how the bird got there.
On a more positive note: I saw 13 GBH standing on/near nests in 22 nest
rookerie on Buthcer's Fork of Powell River near Big Stone Gap, VA. I have been
trying to monitor these nests for the past 3-4 years. I have not accrued any
serious data however. It has been interesting to watch the birds and take some
interested people to view them.

Several years ago, I would regularly encounter road-killed screech owls (for
lack of a better term). Tried to slow down and look for leg bands.
As I traveled back from Beech Mountain to Bristol last night, I realized it had
been quite some time since I have seen a screech owl on the roadside, or had
one stoop in front of the car.
When did you see your last road-killed screech owl? With what frequency do/did
you see them?
