 A Few More Superb Owls!

A Screech Owl soaking up the sun on a mild February day! They are active at night and are more often heard than seen. Many bird watchers know them from their trilling and whinnying song. If you are lucky, they can be spotted in daylight at the the entrance to its home in a tree cavity!

Screech Owls can be attracted to nest boxes, such as this one intended for Wood Ducks.

It’s nesting time for Great Horned Owls. This pair was spotted sitting in a tree at the end of January.

Long-eared Owls are nocturnal and generally spend days roosting in dense parts of trees, often near the trunk where their plumage provides excellent camouflage.
