Pretty interesting. The site is trying to sell a book, but the info is good.
It’s sad to me that the owl has been “claimed” by those who are evil. I have a friend who’s a birdwatcher and owls are his favorite. Super good guy.
Owls are spectacular. Saw a short show on a guy that builds owl boxes for barn owls. Why? Barn owl habitat being torn down. Old wood barns getting trashed. Methinks that’s a super cool way to employ my table saw and air nailer when I get older than hell. Already old.
I want a pet owl.
From a birder’s perspective, Owls are cool. I had the opportunity to be able to photograph a Great Horned Owl in my yard on a couple of occasions. King of the avians in these parts.
